About This Quote

Life took longer to reassemble than it did to blow apart, but that didn't mean it wouldn't be lovely, providing that one remembered to go for country walks, and to tune the wireless to music. The quote by Joanna Trollope is a beautiful metaphor for healing. Life is not supposed to be easy, but it does have the opportunity to change, grow, and become better. Life can be messy and often painful, but if you keep on trying after you have fallen down, it will eventually get better.
