To know you&#8217;ll make it, to see through the darkness until you find the light.To know there <em>will<\/em> be better days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that all sounds really lovely doesn&#8217;t it? Very perfect and dreamlike, when in reality we all know life doesn&#8217;t <em>work<\/em> like that. It&#8217;s <strong>tough<\/strong> and far from an easy ride, and it can be so turbulent that your faith\/hope\/strength\/courage\/passion\/zest, you name it, can disintegrate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the thing is, for me at least, it&#8217;s never been more pertinent to have faith of the heart. To remember that whatever is thrown at us next, whether it is another lockdown, further restrictions, another version of a &#8220;new normal&#8221;, there is light. It&#8217;s hard to believe it right now, let alone see it, but I&#8217;m choosing to have faith of the heart. I know deep down I am stronger than what life throws at me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We <em>all<\/em> are.
