Impressions...
It has been quite an affecting time lately, when I briefly switch on the television as I do when I'm into a twelve hour day of revisions, submissions, checking copy edits...heck, the whole nine yards of being a published author.
I was totally transfixed and deeply moved by the Pope's funeral. Although I could never agree with everything Pope John Paul the Second stood for, I have enough wit to know when I'm in the presence of greatness. There was a man who stood resolutely by his principals, and was truly great.
And then today I witnessed the wedding of our own Prince Charles... and though not a subscriber to the thought that, you are royal, and therefore you are great, I couldn't help feeling when I heard Camilla speaking for the first time... 'Well, at least she's a grown up...And probably exactly what Prince Charles needs...' Camilla appeared to be down to earth, straightforward, and practical... And by the way, the outfit of our new Duchess of Cornwall was absolutely stunning. I thought she looked fabulous.
Well, there you are.... I don't often open my private feelings for public consumption, but tonight I've made an exception.
Be happy everyone!
Love
Susan
