Staying positive in such times is not easy, yet for me so important as I live with a "glass half empty" person. One of us needs to look for the positive. Finding quotes like this is helping me. Thank you.

Cornflower

You're welcome, Fran. We all need these small reminders from time to time.

Mind your own business!”
said the dwarf when he saw that Edmund had turned his head to look at them...But of course this didn't prevent Edmund from seeing...Every moment the patches of green grew bigger and the patches of snow grew smaller...Then the mist turned from white to gold and presently cleared away altogether. Shafts of delicious sunlight struck down on the forest floor and overhead you could see a blue sky between the tree tops. Soon there were wonderful things happening...' from The Lion ,the Witch and the Wardrobe

Cornflower

Perfect, Anne! And very apt considering what I'm about to post today. Thank you!
