"when a lot of things start going wrong all at once,
it is to protect something big and lovely
that is trying to get itself born - and that this
something needs for you to be distracted
so that it can be born
as perfectly as possible."

A very inspirational way of looking at such times in life, Larry! I'll definitely keep this in mind during those challenging times!
hmmmmm.....beautiful; however, debatable :)
It is out of our reactions and responses to distressing and challenging events that allow us to grow emotionally and spiritually. Sucks like hell while you're in the process, though
this thought is easier to accept on some days, more than others. but i like the positive perspective. and the pic...absolutely adorable!
warm smiles,
Loved this!
Thank you for sharing!
