Nature can bring people back from the brink and one becomes stronger as a result. I wish to be able to walk in nature, go to Europe and to feel life to the fullest..yes, feel. Live, of course, but when one has severe pain and other crap stuff, smelling flowers, watching a good movie or reading a good book, feeling the petals and feeling the pages of the book, is truly magicalBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-19053396124937875902019-04-17T20:28:29.938-07:002019-04-17T20:28:29.938-07:00Life sucks sometimes but the art is seeing the sun...Life sucks sometimes but the art is seeing the sun and hearing the birds - as you seem to do and juggle back.

We just have to see through the rainstorm to see the rainbow waiting. <br /><br />Oh sure, I've thought about just giving up but giving up really isn't an option. I not only love life but those in my life, so why short change them of someone awesome, right? What keeps me focused is I know everything that goes on around me is temporary and that God holds everything in His hands. He's always been faithful to bring me through it all, so why stop believing now. ;)<br /><br /><a href="https://curiousasacathy.com/2019/04/2019-the-little-mermaid-art-sketch-series-louis-atozchallenge/" rel="nofollow">A2Z Little Mermaid art sketch Chef Louis</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-61510969602981882592019-04-14T16:32:49.242-07:002019-04-14T16:32:49.242-07:00Patricia, Faith is a mighty fortress, but negativi...Patricia, Faith is a mighty fortress, but negativity tries hard to chip away that faith.
