If not for that…

this.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.

Saint Francis de Sales

One of the things that I think about is how events shape the course of our lives. Sometimes these events are horrific and the inclination is to wish they’d never happened but I think if not for that… this.

With the passing of time though sometimes we realize that the event was a catalyst setting the stage for something incredible to happen.

I think it’s important to remember this and stay in the moment as much as possible, no matter how difficult the situation. We don’t know what lies just ahead.

Happy heartaversary my love!
