I came across this quote today: "Sometimes when you are in a dark place, you think you've been buried, but you have actually been planted."
I've been reading a lot of dark things on Facebook lately. I've read posts about post-election fears full of gloom. I've read posts about holiday blues. I've read posts about suicidal thoughts and major depression. It's so easy to see the darkness all around.
But have you ever had something happen that seemed negative at first but ended up changing you for the better? Things are not always what they seem. Difficulties are not always bad. Struggles are sometimes more strengthening than we anticipate.
Today, think of adversity as an opportunity to stand firm and grow. You never know what's coming around the bend tomorrow.
With hope,
Sara
