Nowhere to go but up!

Rock-bottom is an interesting place to be...but in all reality when you've hit rock-bottom there is nowhere to go but up.  And just when I feel like I am at a standstill the words of Robert Frost come to mind, "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on."  So this is where I decide does it go on at rock-bottom or does it go up?
My best friend has been gone for 3 months now and I miss him as much as ever, but life goes on and it is looking up!  He is doing amazing things out in the mission field; changing not only the lives of those he teaches, but mine as well.  I love that we have this time to grow together in different ways than ever before.  So I’m going to keep slapping a smile on every morning and doing what needs to be done, because I'm three months closer than I've ever been to seeing Phill again…life goes on and it's going up.
