I have two quotes about strength to offer to you today.
This one came from Karen in a comment she left on this blog. It spoke to me on many levels.
“Sometimes the bravery and strength is in how we deal with what is put before us, not in what we seek out”
The other quote about strength comes written on this piece of South Island granite or is it schist?
The quote was given to me by a friend some years ago and sits with me daily now on this piece of rock. “One of the greatest gifts I have is giving and receiving strength.”
The layers in this rock are testament to the forces that have been applied to it in nature but it remains; visible proof of endurance.
I hope you find strength today.

Thank you, Lynley. We all need extra strength at times. I like the fact that your rock is heart-shaped.
Thanks Ruth. The messages felt timely yesterday. I love that rock and its message.
thank you for these thoughts on strength and for showing the rock and its message.
We all need reminders about strength and resilience at times. The rock was shared with me so I thought it was a nice thing to pass forward.
