I know what you mean about time and the internet - I limit my computer time, too, and try to keep at least one day every week completely computer-free. And I also worry about not having anything to say, but then I remind myself that no one has to read my blog if they don't want to, and that is freeing. Sorry for replying so late; have a great weekend!

There's a couple of other extracts from the earlier in the book online if anybody want to check them out:<br /><br />Saint Patrick and the Serpent (with one of your wonderful illustrations) can be read in ‘This Is My World’, the blog of Nerine Dorman, editor, freelance writer, author of Inkarna and editor of my previous book Transformation. See: http://t.co/oTAhDs5KmH<br /> <br />Extract Two: Saint Patrick on the Island of Strangers can be read in my own blog 'Marcus Marcus & the Hurting Heart'.

Also I do try to limit my time on the computer (although not always successfully), I don't like the addictive nature of blog hopping, the way a ten minutes look around can suddenly have become an hour or more. Time becomes so much more precious the older you get! <br /><br />I haven't found many blogs that I feel I want to return to so it's refreshing to find a new one that feels 'right' for me. <br />Have a good week.<br /><br /> Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6458012841011063352.post-83098413226805615962013-03-04T17:33:04.638+00:002013-03-04T17:33:04.638+00:00Hi Jan, thank you so much for your warm and though...Hi Jan, thank you so much for your warm and thoughtful comment - you have made my day! And I am delighted you understand the tealights! I love when that happens, these feelings of recognition when I read something, and it's lovely to get a response to things I write about.<br />Oh yes, with a hairy four-legged white bedlinen can be tricky, but I think it is still worth it.<br />Your name doesn't contain a link, so I presume you don't have a blog? If you do, let me know; I'd love to read it.<br />Thank you,<br />Marina x Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016337937749241251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6458012841011063352.post-82336309823453800252013-03-04T17:21:19.003+00:002013-03-04T17:21:19.003+00:00Hi Jasmina, thank you so much for your kind words....Hi Jasmina, thank you so much for your kind words.

I love the honesty of your words, you seem to have such a soft and gentle spirit. I love also the glimpses of your lovely home, inspiring me to embrace my own space with more love. <br /><br />I knew this would be a blog I'd return to when I read that you found a simple satisfaction in moving tealights from the big bag to the kitchen, as I do in moving mine from the big bag in the pantry to a kitchen drawer. Unexplainable to anyone who doesn't understand. My thoughts recently have also been of using only white bedlinen, despite the hairy and sometimes muddy footed dog.<br /><br />Congratulations on your book illustrating.<br /><br /> Jan (in the UK)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6458012841011063352.post-82158286561599876162013-03-02T20:45:50.907+00:002013-03-02T20:45:50.907+00:00Hi Marina :),
