Just To Be Alive Is a Grand Thing

-
My life now seems to be difficult, often times lost and no direction, aiming but not hitting, no definite meaning, struggles on a daily basis and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out.. What am I doing right?

 The fact that everything will be allright doesnt make anything allright now... But giving up doesnt make anything better either, not now, not ever..

 We are lucky to get second chances, and it is up to us to make things work the second time around...

 I am blessed to have more chances than I deserve and I will do better than my best this time...

 I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable...racked with sorrow, and almost desperate, but through it all I now know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

There is still the same deep hole. I see it. I fall in anyway. It's a habit. I get out quicker this time. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole. I see it. I walk around it. I don't fall in. I walk down a different street. -- Portia Nelson

Months ago, I listened to my friend's story about her painful breakup with her boyfriend of 9 years. I knew the couple since from the start of their relationship. I wasn't expecting them to break up after all they've been through. I was expecting that they would get engage and get married. Infact, I was just waiting for their announcement because the last time we talked, she made a joke about them getting married soon. But that is not the story. This is about her pain and the processed she'd gone through compared to mine from my previous break-up. It was totally the opposite! As her friend, I can say I feel for her, I can relate somehow but only because I'm a woman too with emotions and had other other relationships before. But honestly, I haven't experienced being hurt so muc...
