A Special Hubber

There are two ways to multiply our blessings. One is to recognise them; the other is to share them.’ (Ephesians1:3)

A special hub for a very special hubber.

I have never met him, I know he lives thousands of miles away from me; I don’t even know exactly where- but he has won my heart. So across the wide expanse of the Atlantic ocean and beyond, I want to send a huge big hub-hug to my favourite hubber –.

He writes eclectic hubs covering many topics; his life in years gone by and his life today. He writes about his beautiful wife and daughter-Jo Ann and Becky: Becky is disabled and confined to a wheelchair. His health is not at all good, as he says himself ‘’I write a little, rest a little and sleep a little’’ .He has trouble sleeping, a hangover from his mom’s death some years ago.

Jo Ann his ‘beautiful wife’ looks after them all-including their eight cats-their much loved and well cared for cats.

He dispenses wonderful advice on ‘life’-all from personal experience; business, money, you name it –he’s been there. Sincerity oozes through everything he writes –not least the effort he takes in responding to each individual’s comment-like he knows each one personally.

Each hub is preceded by drawings –all his own work-and a little prayer. The drawings are compelling in their beauty – so compelling in fact-I have been moved to tears on occasion by them.

I would love to see him gain from his artwork; sadly red tape prevents that likelihood - What a pity. 

Where I come from artists and writers are so highly respected-they are excluded from most of the tax laws applied to others-and why not!

Many of you will realise by now who this great hubber is;for those of you who don’t .let me introduce to you –stars439-my favourite hubber of all.

To you- stars439-Thank you for bringing that warm glow with each and every hub, and each and every beautiful drawing.

Tons of hub hugs and love from across the sea.

Itakins.

I see, now. Why didn't I think of this before? It's Ireland for me, not gay Paree! Wonderful.

Gay Paree-phew!-is as nothing compared to our dear green isle.

How wonderful it is that you reach out with such a kind heart toward my loved ones and I. Don't worry or be troubled as our Lord in Heaven reaches out to all of us, each and every one of us on this earth. That with which remains in all of us is our joy, and happy hearts from our kinships. The best of all of us will always endure the ages. God Bless you Dear Heart.

What a great hub and thoughtfulness of a friend whom you never met in person. There be many relationships like this now and in the coming years. I have always dismissed the theory of what Psychologist say---meet real people and not those over the internet. I have more friends on the internet then I could have in this silly place where I live.
