Sunset on the Horizon

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

speaking of hope…

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

- emily dickinson, “hope is the thing with feathers”

Things have been crazy lately - lots of family and apartment and work and friend drama - and I just wasn’t able to think of anything that I really wanted to blog about.

But then I got my daily quote from Real Simple and was inspired:

“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!” - Dr. Seuss

I’ll be back with a vengeance next week!
