A Touch of Heaven from Pat



"A mind that is stretched to a new idea never returns to it's original dimension." Oliver Holmes ~ I recently heard this saying and thought of my dear friend Pat. Her single idea of making a few dolls for abused woman has grown with leaps and bounds and has brought hundreds of smiles to faces that didn't have one. I just received one of the 50 charms she has sent to those who have participated thus far in the Comfort Doll Project http://www.comfortdolls.blogspot.com/ When I see Patricia A. Winter on the return address label ~ I know whatever is inside is filled with LOVE. This was no exception. One more saying that makes me think of Pat ~ "To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to LIVE gratitude is to touch Heaven."

Teri, you are making me blush left and right. Goodness. I am glad it arrived. As the emails come in letting me know they arrive,I breathe easier. I can see the envelope getting hung up in machines and never reaching their destination.
Somehow I cannot get into the comfort doll blog. It says my email address is not valid. Thank goodness my son will be home in two days to straighten me out. I was frantic.
Thank you for the wonderful encouraging words my friend.They were gratefully accepted and appreciated.
