The Simple Beauties

This afternoon I curled up in the spring sun and

re-read my favorite book.

It was wonderful.

No matter how many times I read this book the story never gets old.

And the quote at the end is always exactly the reminder I need.

"Maybe there's another woman out there, another Eliana, trapped and wondering if life has forgotten her. Afraid to love. Afraid to hope. Afraid of hope. If I knew where she was, I would put my arms around her and hold her and tell her that it's okay to cry. It's okay to scream. It's even okay to pound the walls. But it's never okay to lose hope."
