I would never try to presume the circimstances in your life-but- my biggest problem right now is to get "hubby" to let me go free and to get my grandfather to quit falling(two times in three days). I know that there is people out there that have a lot worse problems than mine--I just tend to forget that sometimes. Needed to be reminded-I guess(what Healthy wrote).....

Don't take life too seriously, it's only temporary.

Be in control of what you can and learn to let the rest go despite how desperately you want to hold on. Learn to cry and release the pain and sorrow and learn to laugh again because time will heal the harshest of blows. Keep your hope and faith alive so that you treasure each moment or moment that you had with someone.
Remember to share your burdens with others ... it makes the load easier to carry and they are there to hug you when you need it.
I know this so personally right now and for the people that I have shared with I thank you for the support and encouragement that you have given me to keep on going on. I realize that I need to go on with my life.
As I'm writing this I actually just received a phone call - OMG I am so overwhlemned with so many emotions and so many questions still unanswered but I know that she is alive. Thank God.

So we all know that no matter how bad we have it, someone ALWAYS has it worse...but do we think of that whilst we tear out clumps of hair and get splotchy complexions from bawling our eyes out?? Most of the time not...even though those two tins of soup and dry spaghetti noodles are more than most kids in Africa will see in a year...but no, this offers no comfort to us. We're only human.
I've taken a new lease on life...when I am in the middle of a bad situation, tearing out clumps of hair (I can afford it, I have lots) and sobbing away like my heart might break, I think this:
"Thank you God, for how this is going to turn out - because I KNOW it's gotta get better, and I'll draw a life lesson from this test."
You can only go so far down, people, before you have no choice but to go back up...what goes down, must come up - right? Don't be afraid to bottom out...the journey back up is much harder, but it is also much, much more satisfying.
And happiness IS a journey - NOT a destination...enjoy the ride.
