Some may celebrate Easter and some may not. There have been years where I have been really into it and others where I wanted to hide from it, because it was too optimistic and i wasn't in a place to celebrate.
If you're not a believer in the Religious celebration of Easter -- Winter does give way to Spring and that in and of itself brings some degree of joy to anyone and everyone. I hope you're taking in the beauty of the springtime and the sunshine as well.
For those who do believe in it --- Death is not the end, life wins, love wins.... and while that message of resurrection is sometimes TOO optimistic -- one thing I take away from it as a believer and one thing I think a non believer can take away from it ----
There is always something to look forward to!
If I can't look forward to anything else, and even if I knew I'd die in four hours...
I still have something to look forward to....because death is not the end.
Sometimes the knowledge of having something to look forward to made the difference.
At other time, it's how I get through grinds, that there's something to look forward to.
When there are no more tomorrows to look forward to, that's when I know the bottom is near. I haven't been there fortunately, but could have gotten closer to it if I hadn't known there was some kind of better tomorrow I was working toward.
Either way... whether this messasge finds you in a good place or a dark place....or just an everyday place...
Happy Easter to you and yours!!!
When you ban books before you ban guns, you've admitted that you're more afraid of children learning than you are of children dying.
