I believe most people find themselves at the edge of the deep and dark abyss at some point(s) in their lives. There are times when it can be a great act of courage just to get out of bed, keep living, and do what needs to be done. May there always be someone who helps them into brighter times with love, compassion, and kindness. May I be counted among them.
With Love,
Russ

About russtowne
I'm awed by the beauty of nature and the power of love and gratitude. Some of my favorite sensory experiences include waves crashing on rocky shores, waterways in ancient redwood and fern-filled forests, and rain. My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of approximately 60 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children.

Every day, Russ, I am wrapped in the arms of God’s tender, loving care … and thank God for putting those arms on the extension of Bob’s body! May your Beloved be those arms for you as you reach out to her and others. Your reach is extended in your writing. I feel it. Thank you!
Thank you, Jan. We’re blessed to have such love in our lives. I feel your reach in your writing as well.
You certainly are, through your writing, your actions and through the love you give away!
Thank you for your compliment and for being a life-brightener and heart-lifter for me and others, Ute.
beautiful, russ
Thank you, Beth. That is how I view many of your posts.
I try to always show compassion and kindness to others
I believe there is wisdom as well as compassion in such choices.
