Life is beautiful.
Even when it’s not.
Life is beautiful.
Even when kids fight, laundry piles up and the garage door breaks to the tune of a $235 repair.
Life is beautiful.
Even when renters don’t pay, bills exceed paychecks, people get sick and the scale stays stuck on that last 10 pounds.
Life is beautiful.
Even when car batteries die, kitchen ceilings leak and people lose their jobs.
Life is beautiful.
Even when friends move away, or worse when friends die.
Life is beautiful.
Especially when babies are born, children laugh, dress up for Halloween, or sing silly songs.
Life is beautiful.
Especially when leaves change colors, flowers bloom, and the sun shines bright.
Life is beautiful.
Especially when elections are over, when justice is done and teacher conferences bring good reports.
Life is beautiful.
Especially when hot chocolate is the drink of choice and Mother Nature gives an extra hour of sleep.
Life is beautiful.
Even when there’s no time to blog about it.

Life is beautiful.
Even when it’s not.
Life is beautiful.
Even when kids get bullied and have mean “friends.”
Life is beautiful.
Even when inflation is high, grandparents have cancer and the scale stays stuck on that last 30 pounds.
Life is beautiful.
Even when the world shuts down due to a worldwide pandemic and things are never the same again.
Life is beautiful.
Even when kids get cut from a sports team, lose an election, and get failing grades.
Life is beautiful.
Even when you’ve had 7 car accidents in the past 10 years.
Life is beautiful.
Even when political turmoil, natural disasters, hate, and injustice happen daily.
Life is beautiful.
Even when kids grow up, graduate, move away, and start adulting. And the house grows quieter.
Life is beautiful.
Especially when engagements happen, dreams are fulfilled and memories are made.
Life is beautiful.
Especially when you’ve been blessed with friends and family to support and love you through the laughter and the tears that are… just life.
[…] But it sure seemed to parallel my life in many ways. And honestly, sometimes life isn’t that great. But it is always beautiful. […]
