Stormy days...

Stormy weather in Nola but the weekend promises to be beautiful. I think of life as such; full of stormy days but also of bright and happy moments. What is one without the other: happiness without sadness, accomplishments without failure, and the gift of finding love without the absence of love? Life is about finding perspective but it is not easy when the heart and mind don’t agree and one struggles to find balance. If you are there, take time to listen to your heart and be honest with yourself about your feelings and longings, embrace them and find out what they are telling you about yourself and your life. Understanding your feelings might lead you to a safe and beautiful place. Embrace the gift of being human: sadness, happiness, pain, comfort, brokenness and wholeness, fear and reassurance, health and illness, loneliness and love... You will find your way in the midst of living life and while you are out there looking to find the bitter-sweet gift of perspective, be kind and loving to yourself and to others.
