I'd like to share this lovely poem:

"I have a white rose to tend

In July as in January

I give it to the true friend

Who offers his frank hand to me

And for the cruel one whose blows

Break the heart by which I love,

Thistles nor thorns I give:

For him, too, I have a white rose."

Jose Marti, Cuban poet

My siggy:

You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have. - unknown

"I got through all of last year,
and I'm here"

A great Sondheim song (I'm still here) that never fails to pick me up and Shirley MacLaine rocks it!
