Good morning Dear Ones. It is the time of winter when I am struggling a little bit. It has been gray most of the days the last couple of weeks, and I am ready for a truly warm day. Today’s draft is an exercise in optimism.

If winter is hard for you, and you are looking for a spark of joy and encouragement, you might like Winter Camp. Learn more here.)
