picking up the pieces

Picking up the pieces is hard.  We all know this.  Sometimes you get knocked back down just once you've gotten up.  Sometimes it feels like you're never going to catch a break.  These are the times that I like to stop for a moment, put my hand on my heart, take a few breaths and remind myself how beautiful it is to be alive. And today when it felt like I was having the worst day, I had to remind myself how wrong I was, because I woke up this morning.
