“Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.”
Christina G. Rossetti quotes (English Poet. 1830-1894)
There is so much sadness all around. I'm feeling it strongly this weekend.
An emptiness it seems. I can't really explain it.
A sense of - what does all this mean? Why are we all suffering?
I feel my own pain, but then I look around and I see others' pain.
How do they feel? Are they ok? I wonder what they are going through.
I want to feel joy.
I crave it.
I know it's around the corner. I've read the books. I've seen the articles.
They talk about it on TV.
It's interesting.
I want to be the best I can be, yet I sometimes I feel discouraged.
I don't know if I can buy milk this week.
I don't have wood or gas to heat our home this winter. It's cold already.
Our car is about to be repossessed. Our paychecks are not enough.
Yet. I somehow know we will be ok. We will be provided for.
We are not alone.
I don't want to burden people with our woes.
But, I think it's important to share from the heart. People understand.
The worst time to be alone is when you are feeling sad and hopeless.
Let's all remember to reach out and help one another.
We are in this together.
I have hope.
I won't let sadness rule my life. I can make a difference.
I trust everything will be alright.
...because it will.
We are choosing hope over fear."
By Barack Obama.
