There were the typical ups and downs but I wouldn' t say it was at all sad.

Shall we whine because we know it will return? It is Elysium enough for me, at any rate.

Just stay present and handle one situation at a time with an open mind and an open heart. Trust yourself and in the universe that everything will work out in the end.
T. Harv EkerThe first thing to do about an obstacle is simply to stand up to it and not complain about it or whine under it but forthrightly attack it.

Just stand up to it, that's all, and don't give way under it, and it will finally break. You will break it. Something has to break and it won't be you, it will be the obstacle.
