This week I’m honoring Belanger Robinson’s request to share her post below and share photos of treasured friends in–somewhat— humongous sunglasses.  After reading her beautiful words, I hope you are inspired to do the same. Be sure to yank your friends to the side and assert, “We’ve got to snap a photo together–IN SHADES!” A warning: you may hear their proclamation, “What!” Is this for your blog?” Ha, yes! They know me too well!

Have fun and always make time to enjoy life together. I certainly have enjoyed many laughs and some days of sadness with these two ladies, but what I love about my friends M and D is their perseverance–both these ladies have a certain tenacity for life.

“Real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
