All the best to you, Jerry,

Yes, thank you Jill! Beautifully put. I missed the episode as I was

busy with the Native American Indians so, I didn't feel I could write

anything, but Jerry, you are wonderful and welcome here.

 

I hope Jan doesn't mind if I write a bit about him, but as a fellow

Dutch countryman, I will say that he's very honest, his humor is so dry

that I know many don't catch it, and for me, it is truly a breath of fresh

air, I really get to laugh.

 

I am sure both of you have only good in your hearts for each other,

and as I missed the emails, I can only say that my experience with Jan

over a long time now is that he is enormously insightful and honest.

He and Dan really played with me when I first got here, and if we'd

been playing cards, "Hearts," a great card game,

they would have been winning, because they were

getting all the points, at the last minute they realized I would win

because they had indeed outdone themselves *g*.

 

The point being Jerry, that we all get to learn and we all have

our moments. Please, the energies are exceptionally intense now

Pluto in Sag is truth, but can also be zealous, expanded by its

opposition to Jupiter in Gemini, we can see what it is doing on

the world scenes and to our own smaller microcosms, it is extremely

intense. So, in my own life, I have had to forgive myself for a hot

email to my brother, and he to me, but, as he's a Republican he

can't help himself :-)~ kidding! *g*

 

Much Love and Light,

Annette
