I don’t expect to be happy, but it’s gotten beyond that, somehow.
Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor—I will need them all.
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Bring Me a Unicorn: Diaries and Letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh
She was like the sun,
She knew her place in the world -
She would shine again regardless
of all the storms and changeable weather
She wouldn't adjust her purpose
for things that pass.
― Nikki Rowe
