Facing a tough week? I hope this puts a smile on your face and some reassurance in your heart. All of the world's problems haven't been stuffed into our lifetimes. Our grandparents saw very dark days, but they persevered.

We will all face stress, pressure, heartache and tragedy. A happy life isn't a constant flow of perfect days. There will be days of discouragement. Remember though, these are often stepping stones to reaching future happiness and understanding that could have come in no other way. You can do this. Lean into the wind and stay steady as you take the hard times head on.
