TAKING OUR TROUBLES IN STRIDE

     If we have survived the troubles and drama and near misses in our lives that we have survived, then others can too. Let's have faith in the journey. It's not meant to be easy or painless. It happens the way it does to teach us to be thoughtful and considerate and wise, to have compassion and to learn forgiveness. None of us is immune from tragedy, none from hurt, and none from death. So we don't need to take our hardships personally. We can take them in stride.

I stop expecting life to be easy. I am willing to let life be life.
