Happy Endings: The Only Option

"It will all be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end."

This is such a happy! Is there anything more to say? If we're doing good and trying hard, it will all be great and grand and gloriously ok. And if you can get that idea in hand, then the second half will send you on your way with a smile. Things aren't feeling ok? Then it's not the end. Because you will get nothing less than a Happy Ending when you keep holding on and doing what you can. So smile! That's essentially like someone telling us that if you can just make it to the end of the race (not win, just get there), you WILL get an extra large ice cream cone. (If you're lactose intolerant and reading this, you can have a stack of homemade cookies.) That's so happy--it's a guarantee! Even people who don't like running can get ice cream if they walk, skip, army-crawl, or cartwheel their way to the finish line.

Bottom line: you will get your ice cream cone. Things will be ok. And if you feel like they aren't, and you've reached a dead end with no ice cream to speak of, then your race isn't over. So keep going. :)
