Life is hard. It’s cruel sometimes. It’s merciless and unfair, but we all go through difficult times, one way or another. You’ve had more than your share of knocks lately, I’ll give you that, but it doesn’t mean you get to quit. No one gets to quit. You keep fighting, every day, and sooner or later, the grief fades a little. You grow stronger, find joy again, and everything gets easier. You come out of it more equipped to handle the next wave, which will come eventually. There will always be waves.
Don’t lose faith in the good things, even when life is tough. The good things come in waves, along with the bad.
Bev Pettersen writes with flair and a down-to-earth warmth that will make you smile and sigh with contentment.
