Balancing the scales . . .

Life has an amazing knack of balancing the scales . . .
sometimes we think things are sooo bad and then suddenly something happens which brings a smile. The converse could also be true.

We had a death in our family a week ago.
That in itself was heartbreaking for all of us, but there was also great good which came from it, and I suspect that some more will come from it too.

It's not always easy to acknowledge the good within a difficult situation, but for some reason, when I look, there always seems to be one . . . and I am eternally grateful for that.

Hi Summer. I do count myself blessed in so many ways that when tragedy strikes, (I have a big family, so it happens often), we have to find some good in it. thanks for your supporthug hug
Sorry about your loss cofy. You have a great attitude to life. hug comfort
Hi Cofy. Its certainly true that there is often good to come from any difficult, hard or heartbreaking situation. But its something else to be able to acknowledge that during the hard times, that takes enormous strength of character. Its wonderful for you to be able to see it under your current circumstances. hug

Thanks Lazly.

Although it is not easy to cope with it at times, I believe that our time is set, so I accept the passing on, also knowing she has moved on to a better place makes it a lot easier to handlehug bouquet
