So ... 3 and a bit months since my self-proclaimed year of peace, and unfortunately no peace to be had as yet. Most days I'm a little like this flower .... dying around the edges, and trying hard to keep my bright center alive.

Some wonderful days I'm more like this sunflower ... bright and cheery. I hold my head high and can tackle anything that comes my way.
Some days I put on a mask and hide from the world.
And every day ... I hope I soon find the key that unlocks the door to my ideal (and peaceful!) world.
