Lara's Resilience
**Part I: Echoes of the Past** Clara sat in her cozy rocking chair, her weathered hands tracing the intricate patterns of the knitted blanket across her lap. The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of a nearby lamp casting long shadows on the walls. Outside, the wind howled, and rain battered against the windows. It was the familiar prelude to a tropical cyclone, a dance of nature she had witnessed countless times.

Droplets of Serenity
As I wake in the morning to the chirping of birds making me feel like they are greeting me with their soothing melodies. Stretching my limbs I push back my warm blanket and am suddenly hit with cool crisp air invigorating my senses and preparing me for a fresh new day. Making breakfast while enjoying the morning silence is a ritual for me to prioritize self-care and ensure a healthy start to the day filled with energy and nourishment.
