What a curve ball...

Life threw me some lemons recently and told me to make diamonds. Not sure how 2017 will work out. I want so very much to remain optimistic... but she has left. Crushing isn't even a near description. Heart ache doesn't come close. This truly is, another dark valley I am told to trudge through. I wish I was done being forced to get stronger, better, wiser. I need a break. I need life. I need joy.
