Please forgive me. I’ve been at a swim meet with Sweetgirl all the live long day.

I. Are. Tired.

Because I am All The Tireds, I am sharing a quote from one of my all-time favorite people to ever set words down on paper: Maya Angelou. There are no less than 50 quotes I could have chosen from this particular work by Ms. Angelou. I am sad that she is no longer able to write to us. Her words are often a balm to my soul.

This is from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

“She comprehended the perversity of life, that in the struggle lies the joy.”

It surely is.

I pray you find the joy in the struggle. Yes indeedy.
