The state of Paranoia is not a wonderful place in which to live. It is replete with enemies seen and unseen, a place that leads you to question the trust and faith that you have placed in others. It compels you to the conclusion that you are alone, that it is impossible for anyone to truly befriend you, that you are beset on all sides by those who wish you not well, but want only to use and abuse you. There are ways out of this state, but they are narrow, murky, and difficult to locate. I intend to keep searching.
Today's puzzle features a journaler who, despite health issues, is hard at work on a renovation of his house amid some beautiful heartland scenery, as his photographs attest.
Bonnie has rated this puzzle ****.
A correction of an oversight - last Sunday's puzzle was also rated ****, but I forgot to include it.
Peace.

Stopping in to say hello and let you know that you are not alone my dear friends. :) Paranoia be damned. I understand though. I hope this finds you safe, well, warm & happy. The sun is SHINING today. When I awoke it truly hurt my eyes it was so bright on the oh so slight snowfall we had. I am truly loving this little bit of Texas winter. Having the men in my life to do my errands and shopping (sometimes) as I HATE driving in the winter weather.
Take care. Somewhat chilly hugs still, Barb
the lyrics for "stand by me" and also for "i'll stand by you" have come to mind. i understand what you are feeling, and i don't want to seem oversimplistic, but i wish to extend my assurances that you will find me here, where i am, anytime, in some fashion or another. no pressure, just when you are ready, i'm still a friend. hugs to yas both, debra
This trip doesn't end: you know the hills and valleys and plains. I hope you find yourself on the downside of the hill ... and you know ... I am always here, one way or another. For one or both of you. Like you, it's nice to be able to choose who you will befriend, who you will keep as friends, who you will 'be there' for.
Somebody clever once said, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they ain't out to get ya." True friends really are hard to come by, but you have some right here. Thanks for taking a chance and letting us in.
