When life throws  it's challenges our way we cope in  various ways but eventually we see the joy again.

My friend Mary Hudson (Jack Holland's widow) sent me this verse at the end of an email. She had composed it on a chilly January day as she walked from work in New York.

Enjoy the joy that I saw, even more so,  knowing Mary's own journey from grief :-
      joys
a cloud-mottled sky
bare winter branches at dusk
a baby laughing.

Much love to you, dear friend,     

Je t'embrasse,M.
