Another picture from the archive today, remembering the big freeze this time last year across Ireland. This one is of Cassie ploughing through the snow with great excitement!

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.’ ~ Albert Schweitzer

We can all recall times in our lives when we were in trouble, when our options were limited, when it seemed our light had gone out. But some person in our lives made all the difference and got us back on track again. It may have been a parent, brother, sister, grandparent, partner, friend or may even have been the inspiration of an outsider. We owe this person our deepest thanks. Today we can say a quiet little prayer for them. As we think of them, we know that we can also now blow into flame the darkened light of somebody else. The fact that we have been there before should be enough inspiration.
