There's something about growing pains in a relationship, any kind, that I love and hate. Hate because, well, it just hurts and I don't have a high tolerance for pain (removable tatoos are awesome inventions wannabe toughies like me), and love because in the end looking back after the storm has passed, you realize that the growth in the end may have been worth it.

I love great life quotes. Hmm. Maybe a book full of quotes is what's next on the Amazon reading list. This quote below sums up what I am being currently challenged with at the moment. And ohhh, how hard it is be less selfish, I tell ya.

How painful it is to be challenged sometimes, isn't it? But also, I marvel at how peace and joy-filled the end result can be if it means growth.

Happy Wednesday!
