...FOR A REASON

“It is often in the darkest skies that we see the brightest stars.”
― Richard Evans

I often wonder why there is so much pain in this world, so much anguish and sorrow. We all have stories to tell, yet in the midst of it all we need to find the courage to laugh and smile.  We need to find the courage to face each new day hoping that things will change for the better, praying for a miracle to happen.

The fact is that life is under no obligation to give us what we expect. The constant reminder for why each and every person should have a reason to laugh and smile is that only the living can continue the struggle; only those with life have a reason.

Someday, everything will all make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

“The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.”
― Barbara Kingsolver
