Lots of love to you! I try not to worry about being redundant because I do ask myself many times in a day “did I already tell you this?” Ha ha! I’m snuggled in bed listening to you while the rain comes down(hallelujah) and I think this is a perfect way to start my day. My birthday is also December 30th and I’m going to buy myself your book. I deserve it! Looking forward to starting the new year with you! ♥️

Thank you Patti for this gift of your reading, it’s all been said here already & more eloquently than I can do by others, , but it really is no problem to hear you reading again, if you did because I can’t remember anyhow!🤣thank you a million times for your gorgeous book of days, very loverly & most inspiring to a mere journal writer like me. A gift to myself this Xmas. All the very best, luv & peace ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜☮️

Your posts are never too long for me. Thank you for A Book of Days. Thank you for your work all the time, every day, for so many good years. I will follow along with you for 366 days this coming year and be ever grateful I raised a son who knows enough to buy your beautiful book for his mother for Christmas, and then spends a good part of the day engaging it with it over tea.

“Man, through the use of his hands, as they are energized by mind and will, can influence the state of his own health,” Mary Reilly, OTR.

This is the quote by a very important person in the Occupational Therapy profession that guided my professional and personal life for so many years. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspective.

So nice to wake up to this on the day after Christmas. It helps extend the magical feeling a bit. Also, I’m on Team Long Posts; take as long as you want. I gave your newest book as a birthday gift to a friend. Thanks for sharing it here.

Happy Holidays to you too, Patti. I feel so blessed to be a part of your Substack. Thank you for sharing your life with us - means more than I can express. I'm definitely going to pick up a copy of Harper's Bazaar - exquisite! I'm so glad you shared that. I don't think it would have come into my awareness otherwise. Much love…Pam
