“Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;  Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall” ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Ballads and Other Poems

Into each life rain does fall.  In mine and in yours. Trying times are part of our life's journey. Trying times brings on distress... and that becomes full blown stress.  One of my favorite things to do when I am on that edge of despair is to think about happier times that were full of joy and love.   I might even look for old pictures that bring back moments of that calmer time. 

This image is one of my favorite photos from the lake. The composition brings you in from the bottom right and grows into the top left in full bloom of leaves.  We are always climbing mountains... or sliding into valleys. Know that times will pass and everything will change.  How you look at life is how you handle life. Keeping a positive attitude in the worse times makes the journey easier. 

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.  2 Corinthians 13:14 NIV

I just wanted to thank you for this post and the one from yesterday. I love your artwork and read your daily blog posts, but these last two feel as if they were written just for me. My mom had a stroke on Tuesday, and although they said it was on the milder side, it still caused some pretty debilitating damage. All strokes are bad, they just leave various levels of devastation in the aftermath. I would prefer a mild heart attack to a mild stroke any day! Our whole world has been turned upside down in an instant. I just wanted to say thank you for these last two posts because they made me feel that this won't last forever and that I have the strength to handle our "new normal" when most of the time I don't feel that way at all.
