Fighting the urge to run

This dance is tough! And I find myself fighting the urge to hang up my dancing shoes and 'call it a day'.

Dreary as this may sound (sorry, pink happiness blog), it wouldn't feel authentic if I pretended to be feeling any other way. 

I'm struggling. My heart is struggling to manage the number of disappointments it's being called on to contend with, and it doesn't quite know where next to step.

I recently read a quote, Life is not tied with a bow, but still, it is a gift. - Regina Bret.

I understand that life seldom turns out the way we anticipate it might and readily agree with the fact that even when it doesn't, the mere privilege of being alive is indeed a precious gift. Absolutely so! The snag is, I really want to believe in bows. I want to delight in finding ribbons along the way. I want to believe that there's more.

My heart's struggling to hear the melody.

I'm struggling to dance.
