By Linda Lee Albert
It was something, in fact, the two of us could do
together. That was the beginning of a turning point in
our lives; the start of a remarkable journey that has
led us to Florida - a place we never expected to be -to
a beautiful condominium overlooking a beautiful bay, to
warmth and sunlight, and improved health and energy for
my husband. These past 10 years have brought all kinds
of amazing synchronicities and new possibilities our
way, and the sweetest 10 years of our almost 50-year
marriage.
What challenges the future will bring, we do not know.
Nor can we control that future, much as we might like to.
But it is a gift to know that good things can often come out
of bad, that surprises and adventures of the best sort may
be around a dark and frightening corner, and that even when
things seem hopeless, we can always hope for hope.
