This too shall pass...

I've not seen "The Most Exotic Marigold Hotel" yet but I'm looking forward to it. One line caught my notice from the trailer. "Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end." Wise words (though spoken by a conniving sheister).

How often do I panic because I think now is forever? I forget that how things are now is not how they'll always be. I love the AA expression "this too shall pass." Sadly, few good things last forever, but happily neither do the sad things. I will be given the strength, wisdom I need when I need it. Not before or I might lose it. Not when it's too late and I don't need it anymore.

I'm going to concentrate on this eternal truth, just for today.
