Once you choose hope,
everything is possible.
Christopher Reeve



No matter
where you are
on your journey,
this is
exactly where
you need to be.
The next road is
always ahead.

 Marianne Moore




They may push,
They may shove,
But I'll only rise above. Their words
Can't define me, I decide who I'll be! I choose how
I'll behave, Actions right and brave Not swayed
By their misdeeds, Keep planting
Those good seeds! Stand tall,
Proud, and bright,
Be a beacon to the night. Head held high
Please always be The change we want
And need to see.

Our first cat, Dusty, didn't look remotely like Pixie, but she did have a orange diamond in just about the same spot on her head.

It's been tough finding hope. It is awful out there. At least I did a first run of the snowblower. That is off my mind.

Psalm 43:5: "Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God".
