What was hard to bear is sweet to remember!
A tough time can become memorialized in our mind. In hindsight, we see more clearly the valuable aspects of what was difficult at the time.
We had no money for dining out, but the simple recipes we relied on are our comfort foods today.
The job was stressful, but we've never since worked with such a positive group of people.
The house was always a mess, but how we miss the energy of the kids when they were young.
Even as we appreciate the beauty of the past, we can be more mindful about noticing the beauty in our lives today.
When we remember a particularly hard time in our life, treasure some of the moments we experienced.
As we look at our current challenges, we will try to recognize the precious aspect of our life right now.
