Getting older has its advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes, life decides to roll everything into one bucket. You have to wake up enough before you sink to the bottom.
Reaching your arms out, you know you need to swim as your life depends on it because this time, it does. All those morels and teachings you believe in come into play. Your values are tested in ways you never thought possible. You look to the sky and ask the age-old question, "REALLY? God! REALLY?" and get the ancient response, 'This, too, shall pass.'
You are old enough to know that life is never fair. You try to look for the silver lining in each trial set before you as tears run down your face. You wonder for a split second if you are strong enough to last.
Your shoulders slump for a millisecond in your weakened state. Disspare tries to wiggle its way into your brain. You are old enough to realize if you give in to this feeling, you will be lost for eternity.
Lifting your head and holding it high, straightening your spine while taking a deep cleansing breath, you call on all you have learned in your time on this planet. You fill your soul with beaming light to help you make it through another day while whispering...
This, too, shall pass...
Help someone smile today. It can not hurt you.

Indeed, all things pass.. and they're usually a pain in the ass too! 😄
I wrote a post for you too lol.
:D
I am off to read your post!!
Thanks! :D
Sometimes, the only inspiration to live is "This, too, shall pass."
I don't how it feels like to be at an older age, but at the age of 30 I know I have whispered this sentence several times to my heart. Else I would go insane.
I think growing older results differently to different people. Some get higher authority while other loses the previous ones. However, what their feelings exactly are can only be heard in the reminescence when they whisper "This, too shall pass"
beautifully said!!
😊😊

Just remember one breath at a time, one step at a time, and it, too, shall pass.
Hello lovely lady! 😊
Amen, sister, amen. This is so true for all of us, but especially for those of us living with chronic pain. Sending you as many hugs as you can stand and positive energy. Just keep remembering, Jesus had to suffer through his trials and we are blessed because we know he's here helping with ours. 😊
HUGS!!!!
God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! 😊
I always have room for hugs!!
I hope your Easter was as you wanted it to be!!
HUGS!
Hugs are always good, especially if it's from someone you enjoy keeping company with. 😊
We didn't really do anything for Easter here. We've been busy trying to get the garden ready, a little bit at a time as it thaws out, getting the house decluttered (and the main floor is officially done, except for needing some permanent storage bins/boxes to replace the temporary bags in the closets,) next will be working on organizing the basement better and sorting out our pantry stuff down there. It's so much nicer for me to look at when things are organized throughout our house. It helps calm my OCD for a bit too. LOL! 😊
I know I always feel better after I organize and clean things. Its the having the energy that I have been missing to do much of that!! I hope you got your new storage stuff and things around you is still organized!!
HUGE HUGS!
I get a little bit more organized each time I get that energy wave you're talking about. Unfortunately, those energy waves don't come around a lot and when they do they don't always coincide with a lower pain day and get wasted, but I try to take advantage of as many of them as I can. 😊
Wow, those are some HUGE HUGS, thanks! I'm sending you more HUGE HUGS back!!!! 😊
This too shall pass... For ever changing. And that is the best thing about life.
it really is! keeps us on our toes. :D
Everything surely has its own time. Thanks for sharing
