Superhero Wisdom of the Week:

"If not for the depths of grief, how could we truly measure the heights of joy." - MAGIK

There are always those moments, superheroes, which truly break us; you know, the ones that can totally squash us down and put us at our weakest and lowest point...a.k.a. the bottom.  Whatever the moment is, it tests our character and it is a great moment because it defines for us all that is great and good and wonderful in our lives and it highlights those things around us and even in ourselves, those beautiful things, we may have overlooked or downplayed or misjudged for some time.  At times, it isn't until that truly low moment that we understand the pure breadth of our strength and power. 

So here’s to each difficult day, each loud person on the bus that tests us to our absolute limit, every time we cannot find a parking spot, or when our car breaks down, or when we lose our keys or a friend or our sanity, and to every other hard time in our life, big or small…oh amazing how the good times can be sooo GOOD!
