It's really appreciated to see you joined the dots and faved my ladybug submission    

She was indeed "A tiny dot-to-dot delight..." and I've been told a good luck symbol as well
May some of that luck rub off on us all Rivka

Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory 


of being alone.  I hope you can find somewhere as stunning as that 
South African beach to experience solitude      but avoid loneliness       


Thanks for the fave of  "Embrace your solitude..."       Have a good week Rivka...
