Out of Difficulties

Key West, Florida

"Out of difficulties grow miracles."
~ Jean De La Bruyere

Yes, this has been a difficult month for us, full of heartbreak and challenges to accept what is. 

I am reminded that from pain new life grows and that our lives are balanced by new experiences, change, and joy. 

And always, the miracles... and surprises... of life are as true as the morning sunrise.
