HERE I GROW AGAIN

A friend of mine sent me a message this a.m. via e-mail, of course, that tells about two coral beds. One was alive and bright with color, the other dull and hardly any life. She was told that the one that was a bright and living coral bed was on the side of the ocean where it was open to much buffeting by the ocean itself. The bed that had almost no life was where it received no stimulus by the ocean. This dear lady has had much buffeting by life in the last 2 or 3 years, both by loss of a husband and health issues. The comment that caught my attention (hers? or someone else's? don't know, don't care) was this: HERE I GROW AGAIN. If only all of us could face the problems of life as the person that made that quote.
