Natural Highs

My aunt sent this to me in an email. I am reposting it on here. Boy, did I need to hear this today and remember that there are great things in life that do bring us joy even when it feels like the worse things have taken over our emotions. I am very positive, though, looking only to what the future holds. I see good things. I will not turn around and look at what is behind me...not anymore. Those doors are closed. The last thought in this post really puts a lot into perpective for me. I am dealing with a situation right now that is very hard for me to let go of. I want to say what is on my mind, but I have doubts about the need to just walk away. I give you to God. He can deal with you. I know I have done the right thing. For that I am happier, but you still make me sad.
