Beautiful Lessons

My life has been filled with many different kinds of lessons. Some have been difficult to comprehend, some I have just made difficult. What I love is that these lessons can come from such diverse sources. I am a firm believer in the fact that the human experience is one that is ever-teaching and my responsibility to me is to pay attention. I don't always like what is in front of me. I don't always understand why certain situations spring up the way that they do. I sometimes react very poorly to people or circumstances that create discomfort within me. One extremely valuable lesson that I have learned is how incredibly important it is to be aware of those with whom I am surrounded. We sometimes need the motivation that comes from seeing those we love continue to move forward and enjoy their lives despite circumstances that are painful. Our greatest teachers are our children. They deal with more adversity than any adult could possibly bear. They are not yet equipped with the emotional tools needed to transcend fear, hurt, or disappointment, yet they do. In a time when we see adults succumb to depression, anxiety, drugs, alcohol, and a number of other fear related disorders, children continue to deal with life exactly how we as adults should. They take a step back, get things back in perspective, and PLAY. Have a wonderful day and by all means enjoy yourself and do something FUN!!!!
