Our growth is contingent on our ability to flow with the dualities, the contradictions inherent in one's lifetime, not only to flow with them but also to capitalize on them.
We are not offered a painless existence, but we are offered opportunities for gathering perspective from the painful moments. And our perspectives are cushioned by the principles and values we claim for our own. The rough edges of life, the storms that whip our very being, are gifts in disguise. We see life anew, when the storm has subsided.
We can enjoy the calm, if that surrounds us today. We deserve the resting periods. They give us a chance to contemplate and make fully our own that which the recent storm brought so forcefully to our attention. We are powerless over the storm's onslaught. But we can gain from it and be assured that the storm gives all the meaning there is in the calm.

Love that, Mel!
And it goes so perfectly with that saying, "And this too shall pass."
"The rough edges of life, the storms that whip our very being, are gifts in disguise. We see life anew, when the storm has subsided."
Amen!

Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday, dear lady!

Some days it's hard to see our challenges as gifts. But...when we decide to choose to do so...they are.
Good thoughts to ponder today.
Hope your day was pain free. (my fingers are crossed)
