A silver lining

I've certainly had my share of rough times this year. But I'm not going to wallow. Wallowing at this point is counterproductive and destructive. I prefer to look forward with my eyes fixed firmly on the horizon. There are certain things in life that no one can take away from you. Among those things are the people who hold you deep in their heart. The people who assure you with both words and actions that you will in fact find the strength to get through anything that life tosses in your path. True, I will sometimes lose my focus on the positive and slip back into a state of momentary sadness. But I'm comforted by the fact that I have friends who will be there to catch me and set me on my feet again. I am so blessed.
