Keep your face always toward the sunshine –
and shadows will fall behind you.
[Walt Whitman]

Like a plant that starts up in showers and sunshine
and does not know which has best helped it to grow,
it is difficult to say whether
the hard things or the pleasant things
did me the most good.

What a wonderful way to have your morning coffee…and I really like the Whitman and Lucy’s remarks. Appears you & Bob chose a wonderful vacation time. (We’ve had 3 fans going most days here … no rain in sight ???) Safe home!
Lucy’s prose resonates. What a great way to start the day.
Beautiful
