Such a amazing write, Crafted so beautifully in shape and tone with a profound message..I long for peace as you have clearly revealed here.. It seems like some days I feel I gain a step only to be pushed back three more..There are some days that are filled with much sorrow and they just seem to go on forever, I am glad to see those gone..Realizing that tomorrow is another day and it is brand new so who knows what it will bring...I thank God for each day we can start all over..Huggss, Tyesha
