To Notice the Last Glow of Light.
To feel the softness,
and experience the gentle breeze,
to notice the last glow of light shining through…
Even amidst the things that choked you,
the experiences that broke you,
the storms that turned your world upside down…
These are the blessings of life,
that give us the strength,
and give us grace…
To be courageous,
and brave,
to persevere and to grow….
Into the confident beauty
we were meant to be
and share with the world.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Very nice Jodi. Love the words and the thoughts.

There is nothing more beautiful to behold than an early morning sunrise or the fading light of day. It makes the stresses and problems seem insignificant for just a few moments, if one takes the time to see what is freely given. Thank-you for this lovely post and photo.
