Facing tough days ahead? 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 day. Our grandparents and great grandparents saw very dark days; they persevered and so will you.

If you are facing overwhelming stress, pressure, heartache or tragedy, lean into the wind and keep moving. 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 which could have come in no other way. You can do this. Stay steady as you take the hard times head on.
