Living is tough.

Breathing is not easy. There are more hard days than easy ones.

Choose your favorite spot to be still. Peace amid chaos is possible. Reflect. Pray. List a couple of things to do that may help you regain balance.

"A stone when struck resists.  If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered.  While the living thing may easily be crushed by a superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existences...  It is the very nature of life to strive to continue in being.  Since this continuance can be secured only by constant renewals, life is a self-renewing process." ~ John Dewey, Educational Philosopher
