Life Isn’t Fair

“Life isn’t always fair. However, all that matters is that you accept where you are, figure out where you want to be, and then do what you can, today and every day, to hold your head high and keep moving forward.” ~Lori Deschene~

Good evening dear ones. Have you ever heard the saying ‘Nobody ever said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it’? I know I have and I can honestly say it’s a true statement. My life sure as hell hasn’t been an easy one. I have had my share of struggles, but I have also had my share of moments that have made me incredibly glad to be alive. I have an amazing husband, 4 fantastic kids, 2 beautiful and strong moms, and a few wonderful pets.

Life hasn’t always been this good to me though. I can think of several moments where I thought it was lousy and monumentally unfair. The thing about life though, its supposed to have its tough times so we can appreciate the good. My childhood was relatively decent. I had ups and downs but I’d like to think I came out of it unscathed for the most part. My adult life is where things got real. I got married and had kids at a young age. I was divorced before I was 30. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that I struggled with depression even though I was never actually diagnosed. I clawed my way to the happiness I have found today, but there are times I still find it difficult to maintain it. I have my days that I just don’t feel like myself and I want to stay in bed or hide away from the world. I have to remind myself that sometimes giving 100% could mean just getting out of bed that day and this too shall pass.

My loves, please, be kind to each other and especially yourselves. Give yourself a little bit of grace if you don’t feel like doing anything. Sometimes you just need that time to recharge. Life may not always be fair, but it most definitely is worth living. Please know that you are not alone and that you are loved. Never let a day go by without telling those you love how you feel. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn’t promised. Live and love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
