Good morning, Gentle Readers!

Today's image is titled Tear in the Sun. And today's entry is dedicated to a lady who has had more than her share of bad luck, but has found a way to remain positive anyway.

My friend- Forgive me for not posting her name without her permission, Gentle Readers- is an amazingly talented, generous soul. Like many of us, though, she has had to deal with financial hardships. And she has had to deal with a person who had the gall to try to take unfair advantage of that generosity, to the point of of endangering her and placing her at risk of losing her home. Finally, my friend has found a new place to live where she possibly can be happy.

Those who know her wish her the best of luck, where she can shine unimpeded again.
