A Peace-Filled Soul Is A Restful Soul...

Several, years, ago, I had to 'get good', with, some, significant, changes, that, occurred in my personal-life, regarding, my personal-health. It, certainly, wasn't, easy, and, coming to a place of acceptance, required a, great, deal of effort, on my behalf. Believe me, when I tell you...there were some, VERY, dark-moments, throughout the process of 'finding peace', within my Spirit, and, 'figuring out', WHY, these, difficulties had 'darkened my door'.

No, one, person, is immune to, or, can escape from, the 'curve-balls', which, life throws at us, from time to time. This is where Faith plays a role, at least, it did, for me. This Faith, I refer to is the 'acceptance' of there existing a 'Greater-Good', in the Universe, and, an ultimate, reason, behind the, often, less than understood, obstacles, we must face, at times, with, the 'bottom-line' being, that, we, at least, attempt to see 'the lesson', which, can come from our 'challenge(s)'.

This, mayn't be verbatim, but, you get the gist of it. Today, I am 'at peace' with my, 'difficulties', my life, and, myself. And, as per, another, quote I, recently, read, this, rendition, a bit, out of context, 'Success IS going to bed each, night, with a soul that is at peace.' And, let me tell ya'...there ain't nuthin' else like it! Just Sayin'...
