"Life Ain't Always Beautiful"

Life aint always beautiful,
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life aint always beautiful,
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has its own way of takin it's sweet time

CHOURS:
No, life aint always beautiful,
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful,
But it's a beautiful ride

This is a song by Gary Allan that I heard on the radio on Sat. This is only part of the song because the last part of it is about breaking up. I think this is a great song because we all go through those hard times, times where we feel like life is just kicking us when we're down. We all struggle to understand why things happen the way they do, what God's plan is. At times we feel like giving up the fight and just laying down. Other times we come out of the pen, fighting for our lives.

I think this is a good time of the year when I need reminding what a beautiful ride i've had. I struggle during the winter months (call is S.A.D. or whatever). I hate the dullness of the grey sky and the monotony of the cold weather. I hate being cooped up inside, it makes me sad. I think this is a good time of year to count my blessings. When I look around at the famililes I work with, it's hard to feel sorry for yourself. Sure, I 've had tough times in my life but looking back at the big picture, it has been a beautiful life.
