You ever get the feeling things are finally going your way? That's how my life is right now, even as frivolous as some things may seem. Like I went shopping this weekend and found my favourite shampoo on the shelf, previously discontinued. Yippee. Then I went shopping with my sister and found so many bargains that ended saving over $20. And the list goes on. I even have a great boss.
And the same can be said for Amanda Knox who is a free woman and back in the U.S. after spending four years in an Italian prison for a murder she did not commit. She can finally walk in freedom from circumstance that didn't belong to her yet dragged her into despite it everything. Sometimes life has a way of showing us things we do not like and in her case the walls of an Italian prison.
It's like jumping through hoops of fire in order to get to the other side and no one says you will go unscathed. So here on this day in history, Amanda Knox is free and in a way so are many of us from situations beyond our control. But as many a great teachers have said its how you stand up from a crisis that foretells what kind of person you are. And stand you may with dignity and your head held high.
