"I learned that unbelievably awful things can and do happen. In truth, they are not such rare, isolated events. Each of us has a story that would break someone’s heart. Despite the grief and the unfairness of it all, we keep going. There are chores to be done. There are people who still need our care. There is a life to be led.
The real lesson? I realized that, regardless of the heartache, we may choose the moments in which we live.
On that day, I learned that love creates a tremendous capacity for grace. And perhaps it is that grace that keeps us moving forward." (Aldra Robinson)
This is part of an essay that was featured today on the Real Simple Daily Thought page. It certainly strikes a chord in my soul. Especially today. And everyday.
