Still Standing

 I love taking pictures of this tree because of one main reason:

It's been through all kinds of storms and it's still standing.

I like to think it's a metaphor for life.

You go through many trials and tribulations 

and heartaches

but you still manage to stand.

Yesterday, 

a friend in the blogging community- a "Blister"

lost her husband to cancer.

My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family

while they grieve.

Just Breathe

 When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.  

~Kahlil Gibran

 While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.  

~John Taylor
