		<description>Hello.
I&#039;ve missed so much and I don&#039;t know where to start... 
I&#039;m now unemployed and in England. I carried as many rocks as I could with me on the airplane rather than shipping them. My dream box and mermaid picture came too :) I have fragments of my life with me, but the rest is just unfolding. 
And when you wrote: &quot;and the magic cottage was not a place
but a way of life.&quot; I agreed whole heartedly. I may not have a home right now, but the way of life (my way, me) comes with me. I am the constant here, not the bricks &amp; mortar which held my own kitchen and piled-upon big wooden table. Thank you for a beautiful blog post... More in just a few minutes :) xo</description>

		<description>The story will end in a &quot;happily ever after&quot; just like they told us when we were little. Thing is .....that happily ever after takes its sweet-ass-time and it comes when it comes not exactly when we want it to. Hang tight mermaid. Its on its way. I promise ;-) Love, Angie</description>

but a way of life&quot;
