I just took Shiloh for a walk and the soft, warm, night air was a reminder that winter won’t last forever. We’ve had an unusual amount of snow and the dearth of sunshine has taken its toll on me. Yesterday was unseasonably warm and it made me so happy I nearly cried. I know we still have cold days ahead but my hope has been renewed. Soon David and I will be spending our evenings sipping wine and stargazing again. And it can’t happen soon enough.

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.”
