Thoughts That Touch My Heart

"Life does throw us some terrible blows at times, and, sometimes, it is difficult to see the sense of it all. And, sometimes, there is no sense to be made. I think it is easy for one to go through life believing everything or most things will be great, wonderful, and pain-free. I think that happens when we are younger. Then, once time really kicks in, and the life cycle really starts revealing itself, I'm not sure anyone is prepared. I think losing someone close to us is perhaps the most painful thing of all. I think rejection comes in to a close second. But, as long as we wake up every morning, there is a plan and purpose for our life. And, it's realizing that, in spite of life's body blows, we must regain our strength and continue on...even if it is at a snail's pace."-Doris Little
