This Life

I saw this quote by Mother Theresa: "Life us an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realise it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it."
Every morning when we wake up, we awake to new challenges and fresh opportunities. We can't be our best today if we are caught up in yesterday's drama or obsessing about tomorrow's issues.
After a miscarriage or any loss, it is easy to either live in yesterday (going over what happened, why it happened &how it changed your life) or worrying about tomorrow (will it happen again, will you ever get better). Neither will help; rather they will steal today from you. And honestly, today is all we've got.
So embrace Life.

Celebrate Life

You may not be where you want to be, you may have sufferred disappoinments, heartaches and loss...but you're alive. As long as you're alive you can continue to be hopeful.
These words, written thousands of years ago, are timeless and still ring true for today:

"For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope...Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy and drink thy wine with a merry heart...let thy garments be always white, and let thy head lack not ointment. Live joyfully...(and) whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge...in the grave"
