"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine." 

                                                         ~ Anthony J. D'Angelo   

When our daughters were in the last years of high school - Stephanie a senior and Krista a junior - we had a foreign exchange student from Sweden named Susanne living with us.

I often recall the bright joy that Susanne and her parents brought to the morning of our outdoor graduation party when we woke to grey sky and rain. Susanne's father even said, "Whatever the weather, we can bring sunshine." That helped us to prepare for guests with love, gratitude, and happiness instead of complaints and worry. 

By the start of the party, the rain stopped, the sky cleared, and it turned out to be a beauty-full day. 

Thank you for this touchstone memory dear Rindestam Family and for the quote Mr. D'Angelo.

May we all bring joy to the day, no matter what.

Choosing love and peace too,
Charlene
