Thank you

A while ago I began collecting crystals and stones, inspired by an over-60s course on dowsing and crystals.
Rose quartz is one of my favourites, so I was pleased to find the bracelet of hearts going for a song in a charity shop. I’m so sad thinking of the amount of money so many charities are losing while this crisis goes on.
The stone on the left is a pebble I found on a Sussex beach. It’s particularly special with two holes in it, one of them heart-shaped. Holey stones are sometimes called stones of protection, and it was mab1943’s blip from yesterday that reminded me of it.
This blip is a wish for protection for everyone working to support others today, not only the health workers but everyone who works every day in shops and offices, transport and technology, in hundreds of different ways to keep the country going. May they, and everyone who reads this, keep safe and well.
