"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
— Helen Keller
Suffering comes to all of us. Bad things happen. Life does crazy roller-coaster loop-de-loops that can knock us off kilter and out of balance. It doesn't mean we've done something wrong, or failed in some way or missed the mark. It simply means that life, with all its wild turns and curves, is a glorious learning process, a way to teach us balance and strength and persistance. When we begin to accept this truth, then we realize, too, that with every bit of pain life throws at us, it also gives us the ability to heal. And while no one gains from our suffering, the entire world gains from our overcoming, so in a way, when we choose to heal, we heal the world.
May you always be both unafraid of suffering
for the lesson it teaches and willing to overcome it for the gift it gives.
And may you always remember, too, that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.
Until tomorrow, may your day
be filled with all things good.
