“In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all, and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again. Knowing this, truly believing it, will make you less miserable now. I have had enough experience to make this statement.” ~ Abraham Lincoln
Whatever it is that we believe, we make it so. And on this rainy day, I feel like turning inward and resting with my heart. Lately, my heart has ached and even felt heavy. I have experienced disappointment and a little frustration...and yet, I know it is only temporary! I have welcomed my guests and have asked them to teach me and to offer me their gifts. I know that they will soon be on their way...
Sorrow comes. Pain comes. Suffering is optional! (The more we fight the emotions that we don't like, the more we prolong their visit with us.)
Happiness does come again.
Open the door to Happiness, put out the welcome mat. Act in anticipation of Its visit. Just like the sun will be out again, Happiness will stand at the door.
Sing It and Bring It! (Thanks, Steve!)
We do have permission to have our feelings and our emotions...all of them. It is all okay. It is part of the journey. Bless it all. :) Love What Is.
Be well!
