I was having some quiet time in my room (I chuckle at this because most kids hate being sent to their room, LOL, how ironic). I looked up at pictures I have on the top of my tv stand, pictures of my cousin, who recently got married, a picture of my dad (today makes a year since he left us), a family picture, a picture of my aunt (it’s been a little more than a year since she left us), a Mary Kay prize I received, and a picture of Paris that my friend gave me from her trip.

All experiences are not the best. Each of us have experienced trials and tribulations of our own in our past. I was reminded the other day as I was driving home in the rain, that trouble won’t last always and once it is in your past, it’s behind you. As I drove home the other night, I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed how dark the sky looked, but on the road ahead the sky was brighter. At that moment, I was reminded that while I may go through trouble, it will not last forever and at some point, I will be able to look behind me and see…
