Courage....

..Courage: in the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. (Albert Camus)

I love this quote from Albert - who in case you are interested was a french philosopher.

It was given to me seven years ago when I was coping with a very difficult situation - amidst the tears and pain at the time it meant little, but I read it again a few months later and have ever since carried it with me nearly all the time.

I took a long hard look at it this evening - and I think I really do believe that summer will come again.

Lorraine - you may not remember giving it to me - but thank goodness you did :)
