When I was a little girl, I believed in fairy tales... that fantasy of what life would be. White dress, a prince charming who would carry me away to a castle on a hill. I would lie in bed at night and close my eyes and had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close I could taste them, but one day the fairy tale disappeared. It's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely because we all have that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day we will open our eyes and it will come true. Then one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. This life, with all of its complexities, may be the fairy tale after all, because the journey is the best part. It's Happily Ever After...right now.
HAPPY Friday!
I found this today: Sadness
is one of the Beatitudes: ‘Blessed [or in some translations, ‘Happy’] are those
who mourn, for they will be comforted.’
This suggests that
sadness is very, very close to happiness . . . that there is no true happiness
without its wistful tint of divine sadness. I love the kindness of this idea.
So basically, Jesus’ words are, Happy are the sad people!! :)
With Faith & Happiness, ~Shugie
