A few horrible things happened to me today, that left me feeling like I had the whole world on my shoulders. It felt like the 'mountain' in my life that I am trying to conquer got steeper and more treacherous. It sounds a dramatic metaphor, but that is how life is sometimes, it cant all be flowers and roses and this is when we find strength in ourselves that we thought we never had. As human beings we are generally quite resilient and strong when it really counts, and sometimes all it takes is to take one day at a time, those small steps.  All of us will have our own story to tell or are trying to overcome adversity in some form and when things feel incredibly hopeless, there is always some light in the darkness, some hope. For me it lies within my faith as a Christian and knowing that I feel safe within that, for others it can be in knowing that there is always someone who will care about us, even when we feel incredibly lonely or finding something nice happening during those horrible moments. Whatever situation you are in, there is hope, kindness round the corner and light ahead, no matter how dim it feels at the moment.
