It happens, you have to move on. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I lost 23 brother officers on 9-11 and all would trade places with me in a second.

Life is a series of fits and starts . Stand back up , brush yourself off and look for the next opportunity to latch on to . The trick is to recognize it when it presents itself . Keep this attitude Johnny...... Not this... Sounds like you could use some sugar from your favorite lady , that always makes it better !!

Happens! Just have to hold you head up and keep going. Remember the good and learn from the bad. Also always talk to the BIG guy up stairs.

Never give up. If life serves you a bowl of lemons, get some Tequila & salt..

I truly believe it all evens out.
Life is a rollercoaster, some people have bigger lows and then because of it have bigger highs.
Many others don't have the huge lows but also don't seem to experience the big highs.

I lost a son suddenly at 19 years old and a wife to mental illness. When people tell me I have good fortune they don't know the half of it.

Its all about perspective. Everybody's problems, big or small, are big to them. Its all in how you look at it.
Without knowing your situation, I'd bet there are a lot of people who would trade places with you in a minute. I remind myself of that every day.

Optimism is a powerful thing. Most successful men and women have a ton of it.
