I think the daffodil who rises from the dark every spring to stand tall regardless of the weather would agree with this quote. I’m surrounded by strong people who do the same. They suffer great illnesses or stand by those who do and still bring joy to others, endure loss with both tears and laughter, they are parents who love unconditionally, they climb mountains and ski down them, they are people who encourage, participate and repeat. I’d name them but it would be everyone I know so instead I’ll say may you all be blessed by feeling your strong roots, cherish your ability to stand tall, enjoy the pleasure of the sun kissing your cheeks and appreciate your beauty!
