“Be strong because things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it never rains forever.” – Anon
Something to think on, Spidey, thank you.
This quote really hit me as a truth.
Times in our lives come, where we think we can’t carry on.
Everything is against us.
It doesn’t matter what we do, it’s always wrong.
But the saying “We can weather the storm” reflects exactly that.
There is no storm on earth that goes on forever. There is always an end in sight, and if it’s worth it, ride it.
Hold on with both hands, and accept you may be slightly bruised and battered after, but you will come out the other side, and you will be stronger too.
Which situation did you think you’d never get through, but ultimately, has given you the strength to carry on?
But I Smile Anyway...

This is a good question. For me it was when I had to stop working in 2010. I was at a loss and struggling to accept an illness that baffled me. Over time I’ve found new ways to live and thrive.

Big hugs, Ritu. I do believe this to be true. We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for. Life can be extremely challenging but we have reserves we don’t know about. Trust in that and believe that this is doable.
