Life IS Balance

How do YOU look at Life?

"Hello"

“Life is too ironic.

It takes sadness to know what happiness is,

noise to appreciate silence

and

absence to value presence.”

Life IS Balance!

Happy and sad.

Noise and silence.

Absence and presence.

A lot of the time

it depends on how we ‘look’ at life.

It is true that we often need

the negative to know the positive

so that we can balance out our lives.

Isn’t it always the way

that when a loved one is absent,

we miss them

and

wish he or she was still present in our lives.

Every tear we shed in sadness

is very often replaced

with a happy giggle and laugh.

We learn to treasure

these moments

of happiness and cheerfulness.

Even as we appreciate

a quiet sit down after a busy and noisy day.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
