It's a beautiful LIFE!!!

I LOVE my life...All of it, the good the bad and the ugly. The way I see it is that it takes an assortment of the beautiful, the ugly, joy, tears, laughter, noise and quiet to make life interesting and stimulating. I have found that it's the moments of heartbreak that make me appreciate the instances of happiness. It's the chaos and noise that make the silence so peaceful. It's the ugliness that makes true beauty shine.

My life, as is yours,  is an array of all these things and I think it's foolish to try and avoid the "bad" or ignore the "ugly"...When we do this we take the beautiful things for granted; I mean it's the struggles in life that make the victories priceless ...It's the people that I have lost that make those that remain so valuable... It's the one's that have viciously broken my heart that cause me to cherish those who love and protect me...It's the darkness that makes the search for the light. 


You can't have the gorgeous without the vile...healing without pain....joy without tears.... illumination without the bleak shadows. It's the monstrous things in this world that make the finer things in life so EXQUISITE! After-all it is the black backdrop that makes a diamond shine!!! 

It's real easy to allow the difficulties and heartache, that is an unavoidable part of life, to harden us and make us bitter but it's these things that make the rest of life so sweet. I have found that if you love your life...it will love you back...and if you hate your life...well it will hate you back!

I read a quote that said, "We don't see things the way THEY are...we see things the way WE are." I'm happy with my life ALL of it, and because of this I see LIFE as a thing of beauty...simple really.

LIFE is too short to complain about what's gone wrong--CELEBRATE everything that's going right!! So when it's dreary and it rains just smile, because a colorful flower is just beneath the surface waiting to make it's debut!!!

Jesus says in Matt 5: 8-- Blessed are the pure at heart for they shall see God....Don't allow the bad things in this world to contaminate your heart, protect it from the ugly...KEEP your heart pure with forgiveness and full of LOVE and then....in EVERYTHING you will see GOD!!!
