I think we become so invested in what we think makes us happy we don't pay attention to what really does until something happens that forces us to look at our life, what it has become and where we really want it to go.

I know so many people who were devastated by something that happened in their lives (myself included) and have ended up in a place they would never have thought possible, or could have ever imagined….or trade for the world even if it meant going through it all again.

I try to look at everything that I consider bad from that perspective…because you just never know!
'Just because a door closes doesn't mean there isn't a window'…not sure who said it but rings true every time for me and I find I almost always end up liking the way of the window better anyway!!!
