That Silver Lining

Ernest Hemingway said it perfectly — “the world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.”

We garner our strength from the love and kindness of our family, our friends, and our tribe. These kind souls provide the balm that soothes the heart and heals the wounds.

The silver lining helps us find our way through the darkness, so we can see the path to what lies ahead. We must honor those that have passed, by living with purpose, and paying it forward.

Who ever said life was easy? Never was, never will be. Yet, we must find solace in the snippets of life that create purpose.  Ultimately, the dark clouds will disappear, and the new dawn will show us the path ahead.
