But you're right .. I want to bundle Lenny up - hug him tightly and never let him go!!<br /><br />Perhaps Jezebel should try a gong bath sometime .. might calm her down and give some poor blogging soul a break ..<br /><br />I enjoyed my time in Mistress Snark's parlour ... and fortunately found I could release myself from Jezebels hooks .... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-29319386711033910592013-03-19T13:42:38.523+00:002013-03-19T13:42:38.523+00:00Lenny is one of those awesome friends you want to ...Lenny is one of those awesome friends you want to put in the keeper pile!<br /><br />A gong bath sounds so soothing and relaxing.<br /><br />Jezebel sends her love and had such a grand time during your discussion!Laura Enohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982794146667832204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-60092829687980545822013-03-19T08:02:26.577+00:002013-03-19T08:02:26.577+00:00@ Karen - many thanks .. yes got lots done.
@ Den...@ Karen - many thanks .. yes got lots done.<br /><br />@ Deniz - I'll try and do another post re the Gong Baths .. I loved it.<br /><br />@ Sia - I still write out .. everyone loves the real thing ... letters or cards and Lenny's thoughtful contribution to Linda's life has made a huge difference ... <br /><br />Gong therapy - one of the elderly who attend the class and joined us said she found it loud - I thought it was so soft ... funny our perceptions. I must ask the others what they felt ..<br /><br />I honestly think I've just been slow and to an extent lazy .. but 7 days a week for over 5 years was a stretch ... but nothing like so many others go through: I appreciate your thoughts - you've had your own road ... and yes - lots of hugs with you too ... one day! <br /><br />@ Donna - it's part of life isn't it ... I just couldn't walk away if I can help out .. but Lenny is in a class of his own.<br /><br />Have a great rest of the week ...HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-36024450521014442952013-03-19T06:04:36.977+00:002013-03-19T06:04:36.977+00:00A gong bath; how interesting.

They told such grand tales and it fun to spend time with them. I still have a few older ones I send cards and short missives to. I <i>could</i> another to my list...<br /><br />Gong therapy--what a name. But, seriously, sound is healing and relaxing. It makes since that you felt refreshed afterward.<br /><br />I'm <i>so</i> glad to hear you're getting yourself together. You've been walking a hard road, my dear. We don't walk that road without scars. Hugs, my dear Hilary, lots of hugs!~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-61013867315366552582013-03-19T02:09:07.064+00:002013-03-19T02:09:07.064+00:00Lenny is the sweetest!

I would imagine it is hard to go there sometimes since your mother is gone but I bet your visits mean the world to Linda. <br />And Lenny is a real gem! <br /><br />Looking forward to your posts for the A-Z coming up. :)Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-32128010971212909002013-03-18T13:10:05.864+00:002013-03-18T13:10:05.864+00:00Another Lenny post.
