It Really Does

“Dear Diary,

When does it get better?”

— character in an ad for a tv series

Good question.

I’ve asked it, and maybe you have as well.

During an extended season when I was wondering when things would get better, a friend, who wants to remain nameless, repeatedly told me two simple things:

It does get better; it really does.

That was quite a while ago.

The “getting better” took a heapin’ helpin’ of grace and some help from others and a lot of energy and work and time on my part, but it did get better.

It’s true:

It does get better; it really does.

Who do you know that needs to be reminded of that today?

What’s the quickest way to tell them that?

And what can you do to help?

Now’s a good time.
