Today wasn’t easy. Reading the news takes a toll. I think of SyIvia Plath, Kate Spade, Anne Sexton, Virginia Woolf. Yet I still find comfort in small things. Picking daffodils. Homemade cinnamon bread. The squirrels raiding the bird feeder. The green light on my neighbor’s house. #photography

This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. -Winston Churchill #photography
