Lessons In Life #27

Lesson 27

Always choose life.

Always. Even when you feel like there isn’t any point and the world would be better and easier for everyone without you. Choose life.

Choose sunshine through the trees and raindrops on your cheeks.

Choose the warmth of a duvet on a chilly evening, the chill of a glass against your skin and the comforting glow of streetlights outside your window.

Don’t give in to overwhelming emotions – live them. Burn with anger, wallow in sadness, revel in joy, swallow fear, delight in simple happiness and close your eyes and let love carry you through.

Today might feel impossible, tomorrow might be hard but before long they’ll both be yesterday and you can leave them behind and focus on having a better day after that.

And as we all well know – the sun always shines tomorrow. And there are sticky hands to hold, tired bodies to carry to bed, chocolates to eat and furry ears to tickle.

Always choose life because life always has something new to offer you. Even if it’s hard to reach.

The Gallery: Tomorrow

There is a pile of washing up to be done and a heap of clothes to be put away. There is our little girl asking to play with us and have a giggle.

Life’s too short – the washing up can wait until tomorrow, the clothes won’t go anywhere either.

Tomorrow Tori will be one day older and might not want to hide under the washing basket.

Tomorrow she might not ask us to play with her like she has today.

Tomorrow can wait. We have today.
