I am often...Oh, thank you so much. That is so kind.<br />I am often reluctant to write anything this personal, but the moment I saw this picture I felt something so powerful that I had no choice!<br />I think it is probably everyone's story to some degree... is the tragedy of 'familiarity breeds contempt.'<br />I am trying to look beyond the trivial now, to find the deeper connection in all my relationships.:)Ygrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300519608303898969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177935673290025151.post-18123261426673772262013-07-02T10:39:03.427+01:002013-07-02T10:39:03.427+01:00Many thanks, Lorraine:)

For some unknown reason, I felt very awkward...like too many eyes were on me.

One is the romantic, the true, the connection on a soul level and then there is the everyday, the mundane, where we deal with our flaws and the flaws of those we love.
