Life is messy. Life is beautiful.

Lately this thing called life has confused me, frustrated me, depressed me, stressed me and literally sickened me. But oddly, at the same time, it has been filled with simple, beautiful moments of joy, love, laughter, purpose and peace.  Life is messy, a roller coaster of sorts, but I know at the end of it all, I will look back and know the ride, with all of the twists, flips, turns and slow, seemingly endless creeping to the top before a scary, whirlwind spiral down a steep, stomach dropping descent, went by way too fast and given the chance, I would do it all over again!
