When malicious gossip or slander is passed along, the humanity of three people is thereby diminished .... the one who repeats the gossip, the one who listens to the gossip, and the one who is the subject of the gossip. When a person refrains from gossiping or tale-bearing, the angels rejoice from up above.

Hi Mal - I was so happy to hear from you! We have missed you too! It seems like such a long time since we have connected. Glad all seems well in your world and with Trisha. And I do hope you stick with your writing, Mal. I always loved reading your stories and poems so much. Always from the heart with great honesty, your words. Funny what you said about leaving your stories half written. I so often do that with my reading....leaving half the book unread. Anyway, we are alike in many ways. Please stay in touch whenever you can. I love you and keep you close in my heart. Russ sends love too. His hours at work sometimes mirror those you mentioned of Trisha on Black Friday. Be well and good and happy, my forever friend.
