Things don't always work out the way you want. That's just life, and it's a hard realization for a lot of people. Everyone struggles, day in and day out, with their own demons. Some people shout their troubles from the rooftops and others keep it all bottled up. I can't personally say which is right, because everyone is different.
I just know that when things seem like they couldn't get any worse, and when you feel like you'll never be able to find the strength to pick yourself up off of the ground, something...even the smallest moment, breaks through and proves otherwise. Even the tiniest detail can turn your whole day, your whole outlook around, and it's in those little moments that everything gets turned around. Let the little things into your head and your heart. Don't shut them out, don't turn them away. Embrace them, and listen to them because it's in those moments that (if you're really listening), you'll realize that everything is going to be okay.

love the photo!
ReplyDeleteReally nice thoughts. And a good picture, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the idea that when one door closes, another one opens. I've had plenty of things not work out for me (my marriage, for one) but in the end, many times I end up finding something better--a better man, a better job, etc.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this! I just found your blog today and I appreciate seeing these words as I am going through something quite difficult right now.
