Because I'm just on the return from one, which I know even more surely afterwards than before that I did indeed need it. And it's funny, in that time I almost went off into fiction writing, which I haven't done for a long time. I didn't because I felt I was already trying to go in too many directions at the same time, but now you make me wonder... Yes, I will purpose to be praying for you! (And I "get" the non-posting of awards, too. I don't do it, either, even though, too I am touched by the sweetness of those offering. God bless!)Sylvia Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396571481512887302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-40461649409798095392013-11-07T11:29:47.783-08:002013-11-07T11:29:47.783-08:00You are so sweet, Kathy!

I’ve only blogged once this year, and can’t say that I miss it. But, like you, I find that I must keep writing, as that is a call for me too. I pray that your time engaged in fiction writing continues to be fruitful and rewarding in every way. <br /><br />All the best with your new work, and stay in touch. ♥ ♥ ♥<br />Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-16859264267181491152013-10-19T15:07:56.135-07:002013-10-19T15:07:56.135-07:00Thanks so much for coming by, Vishnu, and for your...Thanks so much for coming by, Vishnu, and for your kind words about my blog.
