What my old age has shown me is that problems are not such, they are only opportunities - and with time spent dwelling on the problem (in my youth) only proves "There was no Malady."

I think this poem accurately sums up her feelings even though he's been gone over a year. I also am wondering what Emily Dickinson's "actual suffering" was? I don't know that much about her. Suffering makes us stronger...I've also heard people who are suffering say they don't want to get any stronger! .-= Ginny Marie´s last blog ..<a href="http://lemondroppie.blogspot.com/2009/08/looking-at-sky-on-friday-munising-bay.html">Looking at the Sky on Friday: Munising Bay</a> =-.
