With her head held high

inspiring words

"Life is a constantly morphing thing. Just when you think you know where it's all headed you wake up the next morning to a completely different view. The landscape has changed along with the seasons, but the trees are the same trees, only your view has changed. So you try to cling to the old things that used to comfort you, clinging to the familiar, but they provide little or no solace. The fears do not subside. At this point we have no choice but to surrender to the unknown.

that is where the real beauty lies.

It is not in the knowing, the familiar, the expected. But in the embracing of the unknown. a willingness to walk down a new path and to trust that everything is as it should be. perfect. as it is.

Schopenhauer said,"When you look back on your life, it looks as though it were a plot, but when you are into it, it's a mess: just one surprise after another. Then, later, you see it was perfect."

Sometimes there are little glimpses of the perfection, amidst the mess. It is at those times we feel blessed beyond measure." - Keri Smith

With her head held high

Last week my daughter went to her first formal dance.

And I have to applaud my daughter. After all the crap she endured in connection with this thing termed "The Event" - a sort of "Prom-like" event organized by stakes in our area, which I thought should be a great and wonderful experience in the life of a teenage girl and ended up a lot of it being so NOT, she still got dressed up, put on a smile, and made the best of it.

And she looked beautiful . . .
