Behind all the falling rain, the sun still hangs in the sky. And if the sun can hang in there through the rain, surely you can, too.

Now is as good a time as any to send up a prayer.

If you're always a giver, give yourself a break. Take time for yourself; your well-being is at stake. If you're always a receiver, try a turn at giving. Experience for yourself one of the joys of living.

As an adult, I know about life and death. I know that good people can die too soon and bad ones can live too long. I know that life's not fair, and you take the bitter with the sweet and balance it all as best you can.
