Life is hard

Life is hard like the granite that spill into the woods, here in the Maine . There is so many ups and downs. They are kind of like the mountainous roads that surround us. Making twists and turns, climbing up steep grades only to feel like the road drops out from underneath us taking the wind from our lungs.

It can leave us so full of sorrow that we don’t know how we will ever go on. We’re overcome with the darkness of regret of “what ifs” and  “I should haves”. A rolling thunderstorm brews inside.

If you believe and have faith, you will see that at the end of every dark night, the sun does rise. You may have a hard time getting out of bed and believing that life goes on. Sometimes you have to look for it in the little things. Maybe it’s the birds singing their good morning song outside your window or the lonely crocus springing up through the frosty ground. Or maybe it’s the gurgling of a brook.


Today is a gift. We opened our eyes this morning. From our birth until our last breath, we live. If today is hard. Live for this second or this minute.  Baby steps. It will get better.
