Happily Ever After

"As much as you may not like it, people are watching you right now. Just like a highway accident causes traffic delays in the opposite direction, the world is also filled with emotional 'rubberneckers'...people who slow to watch other people's lives. Perhaps part of it is curiosity, part of it is fear. 'What if this happened to me?' 'What would I do?' 'I wonder what she did to deserve this?'

People are watching to see how you handle this...what you do, how you act, the choices you make. They are talking about you behind your back, placing bets on how you will fare. I don't say this to upset you; I say this to illustrate the scope of the opportunity at hand. Use this attention to be a light for Christ. Heal properly. Continue to love...Take the high road. Take your time.

Then, later, when someone asks you, 'how on earth did you do it?' you will be able to respond with enlightenment--giving credit where credit is due." Happily Ever After pg. 33 by Kristin Armstrong (Lance Armstrong's ex-wife).
