Thankful

I'm not one to keep a diary. But I did come across a saved conversation as I'm cleaning out an old computer. That was a very dark time. I instantly felt transported back to that very painful time, and I wonder how I endured it for that long, as I couldn't handle it for the few minutes I was reading the conversation. That pain is so real...

It made me think of others going through similar times now. If only they would know that things will turn around. If only I could have enough compassion, patience and understanding to embrace their pain and help them hold it together until things get better. Because things will get better. And you'll not want to look back except to remember that others might be in that cycle now and need you...
