In Perspective

271846496_qeRvx-M%5B1%5D.jpg

Sometimes, when I'm in the thick of a difficult situation, I fail to see the world around me. A good friend, whose calm life was shattered last fall due to her husband's stroke, recently wrote this:

We’re keeping perspective, grateful to be home, to have a home… happy to be alive and together. Not a given. Our community has been hit hard with critical illnesses lately. The only way I know of to weather the storms is to take slow deep breaths every day, and to rest quietly in each moment -- when I remember that is. Our hearts are full, holding close to loved ones struggling for life.

Today, regardless of your situation, I wish you a full-heart! ~ Elizabeth
