It is raining out and I’m
drinking peppermint tea and I have just turned on the white lights that are
strung high above the garden courtyard.
Sometimes when I’m feeling blue,
it is so silly (or desperate?) how one inkling of hope can give me that jolt to
the heart. It is enough to wake me
up, at least for that moment and I become utterly certain that-- to quote Prince “joy
lives round the corner”.
