April Showers bring May Flowers...

When it rains, it pours....the saying holds more truth in my life (and I'm sure many others) more so now than it has in a good while. I try not to complain much because I have a roof over my head, my child is still breathing, and while I may not be able to take a MUCH NEEDED vacation every once in a while....I'm alive. The support group that I have, is a great one however, when they can't really feel where I'm coming from on a "personal" level....the words don't really help much. I get more peace from having a conversation with myself. I believe I am my own worst enemy at times and my most critical judger. We have to remember, that no matter how bad we have it there is ALWAYS someone who has it worse!! I believe the toughest battles are given to the toughest soldiers. When you feel like you're drowning, just remember that many of your enemies can't swim!! So just keep on pushing until you've reached that island of peace! I remember YEARS ago reading a quote that will/has always stuck with me. "To get to the rainbow, you must first put up with the storm and rain". Never been truer!! I believe we would never truly appreciate just how beautiful some things in life truly were, if we didn't have to work hard for it. April is almost over, and now is the time to start looking forward to all the beauty that May can bring!!
