I found this to be so true.

For all of us who have lost someone we love, this kind of explains the "walk".

Much love and warm hugs.

"The best way out of a problem is through it."

*~*~*~*~*~*

You Did

There have been situations in your life

that you thought you would never get through.

And yet, you did.

There have been challenges you faced

that you thought you would never overcome.

And yet, you did.

There have been losses you've suffered

that you thought you would never be able to get beyond.

And yet, you did.

For you are here today, stronger, wiser, more experienced

and more knowledgeable as a result of it all.

Though the road has had its rough spots,

you've successfully made your way along it.

There will certainly be more rough spots ahead,

and there may even be some particularly difficult ones right now.

So it pays, every now and then, to look back and remember

that even though you thought you wouldn't get through,

you did.

And perhaps, if you think about it,

you'll see that there's really never any reason to doubt yourself.

For when life challenged you to make your way through,

you did.

And now, even more importantly, you will...

So true, Shirley, so very true.

It is nice to be reminded on those days that aren't so easy that we will indeed make it through....these words put it all in the right perspective. Thank you for sharing it with us.
