Distraught. Anger. Denial. Composure. Sadness. Sadness. Just sadness. 

“God is even nearer to you when you are in sadness. If only you knew that, you would forget sadness itself.”

You have given me the strength to do what’s right… and now, I only hope that You will give me the grace and serenity to carry on.  

"When I was separated from You, I closed my eyes to the world; but hope of our union has given me back my life. From now on, I’ll go to no one else’s door, for You are the only one I want to see. I have learned how to pray, and now I can talk to You both night and day."

Feeling the nearing of another ending. 

“Make a list of things that make you happy. Grab your calendar and plan to do them more often.”

Today, I striked off ‘baking’, ‘painting my nails when I have my period’, and ‘writing’. Happiness is… the simplest of things. 

“What matters now won’t matter soon; the truly important thing is that you are alive, and that you have the capacity to do absolutely anything with this beautiful, crazy coincidence of being on this earth.”

Thankful for the grace of living through another year. Thankful for the blessings and the bits of magic I find at every turn. Thankful for God and all the beautiful people in my life. 

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

One thing off my baking bucket list :)
