Everything is temporary.
The season.
The flowers.
The wind and snow.
The pain.
The joy.
The feeling.
The restlessness.
The uncertainty.
The contentment.
The good news is everything is temporary.
The bad news is everything is temporary.
Just as quick as we want the pain to be over, the joys will only last just as long too.
Every minute, every hour, every day is different. When we are living with pain, these thoughts can give a lot of hope. Knowing that the next frame of time may be different to the last. We are not going to feel this forever. It is always changing.
It also makes us appreciate the joys and special moments so much more when they appear for however long it may be.
Witness it while it is here. It will soon be gone.
It is all temporary.
This too shall pass.
Take heart Readers, I’ll keep the light on.
