When I Want to Whine About Life….

Published on January 28, 2015 by Marilyn

When I want to whine about life I find this:

And I am struck by the resilience of the human spirit, the ability to find joy in the worst circumstances, and the hope found in a makeshift swing.

Dear Marilyn: I know that the white stuff is getting you down. This post is a testimony to your own resilient spirit – keep encouraging us all (especially Americans with so little to whine about really) to look beyond ourselves and our struggles to see the struggles of others and to help where we can. May your day blessed as you are a blessing to so many. :) ~s
