Instead of letting the difficulties get you down, let them inspire you. Let them inspire you to focus more intently on the good, valuable and beautiful aspects of life.
No life is free of pain, inconvenience, frustration or challenge. However, there is no law that says you have to let those negative things completely overwhelm your awareness.
Take the difficulties in stride, and then be sure to move quickly on to the joys. No matter what has happened, remember that joy can always be your next experience.

I see toddlers lurch from TRAGEDY! to ECSTASY! and back again, and I feel so sorry for them, being buffeted from one extreme to another. One of the benefits of growing old is that we have a lot more control over that sort of thing.

That's right! And it seems that no matter how challenging something is, it always turns around and then I look back on it as something of great value.
Great reminder, Mel! Thank you!
