Life's Challenge

Do you ever stop to think about the day to day ratio of happiness and sadness?

Usually, our days are full of joy and happiness. We laugh, we joke around with our friends and we generally have a fun time. However, every once in a while we're thrown one of life's challenges. They often take us by surprise and we have no idea how to handle them.

We normally don't know what to do because we've yet to encounter the experience. We complain, cry and get down right frustrated because we don't have the answers. Venting seems to be the popular way of getting past our troubles (I know). More times than not, we are so confused and unaware, we enlist the help our friends and family. We continuously search for the answer, the right answer (whatever that may be).

Eventually, when all has passed we realize that what was done, was done for a reason. And when we least expect it we return to our regular lives and routines. Why? Because it's a part of life's challenge.

So until that day comes, when we overlook our troubles, we take the current days one at a time. We choke it up as a part of life and we pray that those days are few and far between. :))
