Thoughts and stories, by Pal

I know I haven't written for almost 6 weeks.  On July 13th, I fell in the New York airport, got some severely bruised ribs, continued on to Ireland, but after 3 days had to fly home, missing most of Scotland, all over England, 2 days in France, and 2 days in Rome, with a visit and session to the Rome Temple.   I'll write about that another time.  I'm almost healed, but this article about one of my favorite authors needs to be here today.  She has inspired so many over the years, and I have featured many of her writings.  Even Elder Jeffrey R. Holland has quoted her!  Read about it below. I appreciate those who have continued to read previous blogs during the time I have been recuperating.   I'll get back to writing more blogs, with family history and inspiring thoughts -- hopefully, to you dear readers.
