Positively moving forward

[newmama]

Yay, Awest! You finally got a break! (with the garage door and the car parts)Seriously, we need to take those small things and appreciate them.

I am sorry for all of the pain in your life. I have certainly seen a lot as well, although different than your circumstances. The sad thing is that I KNOW I am going to have to take on some very challenging hardships with some stuff in my family that is imminent.

But I was asking God why, and then feeling guilty because I know people have it even worse, and the answer came to me as "Why NOT?" isn't that strange? Like God was saying "why do you think you are so special that you don't have to deal with hard, sad, difficult circumstances? Everyone has some kind of battle."

And you know something, Awest? Whether that was my subconscious or it was God speaking to me, it is true! None of us deserve to suffer yet none of us should be exempt if suffering has to happen...but it's normal to feel sorry for ourselves once in awhile because how many Ghandi's and Mother Theresa's are there in the world? We are not martyrs!

Ok sorry if that wasn't cheery. It's just a good reality slap when we start to dwindle into depression over the hard life we are juggling.
