Time marches on. Hearts are broken and hearts mend. One door closes and another opens up. Seasons change. In it all, you try to do your best to keep on "the up" and trust in what (and Who) you believe. I think in many ways that it's harder to see those around you suffer than to go thru it yourself. At least in your own mind and heart you can look for the higher ground or the positive in it all. In others, it just drags you down and you want to help, but you can't (aside from praying for them). Funny how things change in a year or so. I guess that's the beauty/ugliness of the human condition. Maybe the only real beauty is the work of God's hands and if we look to see and live in that, the ugly will seem less gross. Here's to hoping... MLT
