Gratitude…

After a refreshing month, spent in the company of my books and family, away from the clutches of the cyber world, it is indeed good to be back again… Back to the family of bloggers that I have missed. As the first post of this new year, I would like to thank all the bloggers who have been a part of this journey of mine, right from when I first entered this blogging community six months back, happy to have found a platform to showcase my articles in. I would like to thank you all for your constant encouragement, which spurred me on to write more and better. And so, I would like to repay you for the kindness that you have shown me, and for readily accepting me as a part of your community…

Though too late now, I would like to thank Manu Kurup, a wonderful photographer who blogs at StarScrutiny, for nominating me for the “ Blog of the Year- 2012” award.

  24. I was walking with my on a track at Woodgate Qld. and stuck in the fork of a Teatree was a Teddy bear. I picked it out of the fork, Pauline protested and wanted me to put it back as it belonged to some child, who may come back for it. As it was faded from the darkbrown, on the part that had been protected by the fork of the tree, and the rest of it faded to silver grey by the sun. I told her the child would be too old for Teddies, I planned to give it to the first child, we met in our travles, that looked deserving of it. The bear was jammed in the front window, above the dashboard, in our pop-top van. It stayed there for months. Pauline christened him Woodie. We were in a cafe in a one horse town in Western Australia. The van was parked near by and there was a quiet, well behaved, little boy patiently sitting with some adulta. ” I will go and get Woodie.” I said but Pauline said no. Women get very fond of their Teddy Bears.
