The Adage Revisited

"That which does not kill us makes us stronger"

Truer words were never spoken. So many times in life, or in My life I should say, that particular phrase is used as a sarcastic form of not complaining about the events at hand. The fact is, that no matter what the situation, if you step back and truly view said situation from a "what can I learn from this," or "what positive has come of this" perspective, that particular quote can usually be justified. It might be something small like getting on top of things that you had previously procrastinated about, or a heightened ability to notice fabulous things like a new rose in bloom in your yard that you were previously unaware of. Or, it might be something larger, like developing a closer relationship with those that mean the most to you, or finally taking the initiative to do what you had always secretly wanted to try. Regardless, the travesties in life tend to ultimately make us reevaluate so many things ... both perceived good & bad. How wonderfully fantastic is that?!
