No Pain . . .

I see a whole lot of “Hang in there,” poems, stories, memes, and signs in my social media feeds. The story, in a nutshell, is “Life is hard. Pain is inevitable. We should be grateful for that, though, because it teaches us enjoy good things.”

Here’s a thought. Let’s not just learn from heartbreaks, setbacks, and disasters. Let’s learn the lessons that a comfortable place, kind and supportive people, and some clear sailing can teach us. Stay alert for the goodness. There are some wonderful easy As in life, too.
