‎”The next time you face something that’s unexpected, unwanted, and uncertain, consider that it just may be a gift.” Stacey Kramer

Wow. How true is this? You have something thrown at you that puts your world into a tailspin; you believe that nothing will ever be good again. But when you recover and find your heart again, when you can breathe and see clearly, then you notice that not only is life all right again, in many ways it is actually better than it was.

Though it seem inconceivable when the horrible thing is first thrown at you, when you come out the other side you can see the blessing of it.  A death brings people closer.  Cancer encourages you to value every day.  A divorce opens your heart to a  healthier state of mind. 

Gifts mean the most when they are unexpected.  So while you despise the circumstance that has brought you this gift, embrace it with hope for your future.  There is something valuable here for you to unwrap.
