Skies So Blue

This will be the first part of a series... I think... Who knows?

If you read my last blog, you know that I recently went through a breakup. Frankly, getting over that and moving on is a series of ups and downs. Some days I think about it entirely too much, to be honest. I look at all the negatives and try to wrestle with them and sort them into neat little compartments. I think that's part of the recovery process-- sorting your brain out.

In the midst of all the sorting-- a necessity for truly moving on-- you can get a little sad. Maybe a lot sad sometimes. But you can't let the sadness rule you because, the truth be told, this is an amazing life. Yeah, sometimes we have to go through hard things, but we've been given the option of not going alone. We can reach out for the Savior's hand and He'll walk with us through it.

And even though some things are painful they are truly for the best. I've realized that. I've found that in the midst of something that has hurt me, I've become more alive and more myself than ever before. There's a newness that pervades.

So... I'm going to share some things with you guys and I'm going to start it off with this song by The Rocket Summer. It's one of those songs that just makes you feel good and reminds you that each day is a beautiful gift.

I'm sorry I sound glad, but why always be so sad?
And I know sometimes I might feel alone, so broken, cold
But now I'll show that I know that the sky's such a sweet blue
You made this come true
My heart feels so new
It's now wonderful to see beautiful views
Like skies that are so blue.
