How many things have to happen to you before something occurs to you?

Sometimes you have to do things when sad things happen.

Into each life some rain must fall, Somedays must be dark and sad and dreary.

The day will be hard.

Hard days reveal what easy days hide.

Nobody's attitude gets tested on a good day.
Nobody's faith gets proven when everything is working. Nobody's character shows up when the meeting goes well and the boss is happy and the project lands perfectly.
That's just a good day.

The hard day is where everything real lives.
How you treat people when you're tired.
How you respond when you're wronged.
How you show up when showing up costs you something.
That's the version of you that matters.

Helena, do you ever have times when your heart's suddenly struck with the feeling, "Now, now something must happen —"

But there will be times in your life when it will take everything you have to face what is in front of you, instead of hiding away from a truth so terrible that the only thing worse is the falsehood you long to replace it with.
