Description

I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.
~ Helen Keller

Lily
Lilium candidum

The white Easter lily, the Madonna lily, is associated with the Virgin Mary. It is popular at Easter time as the Christian symbol of Purity, carried by the Angel Gabriel who appeared to Mary at the Anunciation. But this lily has been cultivated for over 3,000 years - Pompeii excavations have revealed frescoes of gardens with lilies --
and is rich with folklore from several countries.

Life's journey has a lot of twists and turns, and the road isn't always smooth. Over the years, I have learned to reflect on each day's end, and find at least one thing that made it a good one. During tough times, it isn't always easy but there is still always at least one thing - even a smile from a stranger - that will pop into my memory bank and remind me that while the going may be rough today, it may very likely be much better the next. Rest assured, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.

My original image caught in shadow, some light adjustment to accommodate .... Squared: nature in all its splendour :)
