Mondays always seem to come so quickly, don't they? This past week has been a bit of a doozy. Without going into too much detail (because it's not my story and therefore I don't think it's my place to share) someone very close to me got some very bad news about their health. It's been a little earth shaking to say the least, but there has been one positive thing that has come out of the diagnosis- that being that it's put a ton of things into perspective. (Isn't that how it always works? You rarely gain perspective until something bad happens.)
Awhile back, a good friend from college gave me a card that said this and I've kept it ever since. Tacked up on my inspiration wall, moved from home to home, it never fails to bring a smile to my face. Not only does it remind me of her (and her sarcastic, smart humor) but it's true. Some days you'll be on top, somedays you won't. Life is full of exciting and amazing moments, but it can also be difficult and scary. Guess that's what makes it so beautiful. It's seemingly fickle and unpredictable nature, that in my belief is all part of a bigger plan.
Happy Monday everyone. I hope it's a good one. (And if it's not- if you're having a hard time- know you're not alone, and it will eventually pass.)
