As I am going through a heartache and some personal mourning, Christian Larson's words are soothing balm to my heart and soul. May you find something to hold on to in his words as well, even if it's only the strand that keeps you from drowning in your sorrow today.
"Man is ever in search of strength. It is the strong man that wins. It is the man with power that scales the heights. To be strong is to be great; and it is the privilege of greatness to satisfy every desire, every aspiration, every need. But strength is not for the few alone; it is for all, and the way to strength is simple. Proceed this very moment to the mountain tops of the strength you now possess, and whatever may happen do not come down. Do not weaken under adversity. Resolve to remain as strong, as determined and as highly enthused during the darkest night of adversity as you are during the sunniest day of prosperity. Do not feel disappointed when things seem disappointing. Keep the eye single upon the same brilliant future regardless of circumstances, conditions or events. Do not lose heart when things go wrong. Continue undisturbed in your original resolve to make all things go right. To be overcome by adversity and threatening failure is to lose strength; to always remain in the same lofty, determined mood is to constantly grow in strength. The man who never weakens when things are against him will grow stronger and stronger until all things will delight to be for him. He will finally have all the strength he may desire or need. Be always strong and you will always be stronger."

...and even as you go thru your valley, you continue to spread hope and joy to others...especially me. You are a very special woman Chaszey. I pray that what ever your troubles may be now, you will soon have twice as much joy and peace.
Love and light to you

Thank you so much for your kind words, Lionel!
It means a lot that you come visit my blog and I'm glad you're getting fed...
I love visiting here....like stopping by a friend's house for a cup of tea. I read your words and sense your presence in the Universe...then we are actually together, talking, laughing, crying if we need to... and a hug here and there! I hope you are feeling better Chaszey.
