The snow’s blanketing Myrtle Beach in a winter-white, and if you listen closely, you’ll hear what I suppose are Canadian geese reminding us, gently, of their presence. Appreciate you, Canada. 🍁

Hope and light grow in what appears as hopeless places. This fern has been plucked more than once by passersby’s, and it keeps growing back. Be like this fern. Heal, re-charge, and then get back up. Never give up.
