That's life...



This is exactly how I feel about life right now. It's simple, but not easy. That's almost the beautiful thing about life though.

When I worked as a substitute I often had students who when they didn't get their way would often say "That's not fair" and my response would often be "Life's not fair, and if it were then we wouldn't learn to appreciate it". I don't really know that they caught what I was trying to say , but it really is true.

Life can't be both simple and easy. Just like it can't be both fair and appreciated.

Trust me there are many times in life that I would just love it if I could take a temporary break from life or  if life could take a temporary break from me (if that makes sense). But truth be told, it simply doesn't work that way. So we have to take it for what it is ... and that is simply LIFE
