Hi Cheron
Much love for the comments you posted on my blog! Thank you!!! I enjoyed reading your story on Birds do it Bees do it - that story cld be the template of so many adolescent relationships jst change a few details here n there but I know so many stories like that!
peace
This proverb speaks the truth! Today, I totally got insulted and belittled by another coworker for no apparent reason *in front of other workers as well*. I asked God, "why do I meet people like this?" Whatever doesnt kill you only makes you stronger.
@KonWomyn, thank you for the comment...I'm glad you enjoyed the story!
@Retromus-ik, I'm still learning how not to let my trials and tribulations get me down by using them as a stepping stone to press forward...thank for commenting...
This is so true. Some of the best experience in life comes from facing the choppy and harsh waters of life. It is of course the whole concept that human development partially rests upon facing adversity.
great quote!!
love the quote. i guess the trials and tribulations we experience are what make us.
Love the quote, love the pic--they are both the truth!
Thank you guys for commenting...
What I associate with this proverb is those people who become very rich because some shananigans, live a shallow life with a big ego, screw up the company and become very little.
let me inside your thoughts
