Loss.
We all deal with it. Nothing stays the same no matter how much we might want it to.
This goes for bad times as well good ones.
So, in our bad times, there is always hope.
And in the good times, there is thankfulness for the moment we’re enjoying.
Our lives on earth are short. It is short-sighted not to think so. In fact, it is foolish.
We can moan and groan over the people and things we lose, or we can look for a lesson in the loss.
There is always a lesson.
In the loss of the negative: If we are finally rid of something that we did not want, we may be more careful next time to use our heads and avoid such.
In the loss of the positive: If something wonderful came our way, we will no longer take our joy for granted should such a gift be given us again.
We will be stronger in both situations, knowing objectively that our time here is forever moving from high to low, from up to down.
