"The journey to find what matters most in life is sometimes a painful test of endurance and a constant struggle of our will. But when it's discovered, the peace that follows can certainly make the stars appear to dance and challenge any residual unrest that our soul has left to heal."

Although we all face the same adversities and suffer through the same pains, each of us cope, deal and manage our emotions in diverse manners. What one person has experienced, another may find some sort of comfort in knowing they're not alone in their endeavors. Someone just to listen or to lean on may be all they need to restore comfort in an emotionally ravaged heart. I enjoy sharing these thoughts with others in hope of providing a comfort and helping that someone obtain peace, if only briefly. We all recover with time, but it's in the manner in which we recover that will indeed define us!
