Laugh Cry Ponder
A Woman's Life Against the Odds
by Christina Scott


For anyone who has ever felt like the odds were totally stacked against you, I hope some of these stories will help you believe that odds are temporary and everything changes. Even if you feel like you are at the bottom of a well wishing you could climb up to the light, that too will change. You will reach the light you seek. Pay attention to all the miracles happening around you, even the smallest, whether they make you laugh, cry, or just ponder life. Soon, you will see that those miracles give meaning to your life, no matter who you are. Don’t worry if you can’t think of any miracles in your life; that just means that you need practice seeing them. Until you can see your own miracles, borrow some of mine. Pretend they’re yours. It will help you begin to notice yours. Soon, you will see that those miracles give meaning to your life, no matter who you are. Remember that even tragedy can produce miracles, so be looking for miracles everywhere. They don't have to be huge miracles. Even the tiniest miracles can bring lots of joy into your life. I love seeing dragonflies in my yard. They make me feel happy. Love your life, even if that seems like it will be against the odds. Life is the biggest miracle of all.


The author, Christina Scott is currently living in San Diego, California with her adorable terrier, Suzie Q. While studying accounting, she discovered that she loved her literature classes. She told her professor that she wanted to write, and he said he would be extra hard on her. When she left the college, he told her to go live, have adventures, and write about them. It has been almost fifty years since then, and people have been telling her that she should write her stories. She chose to write the stories that would be uncommon. The stories that speak to who she is: a woman who is loving and strong, intelligent and thoughtful, curious and resourceful, filled with empathy for others and a problem-solver. A woman who has been open to life's experiences, good, bad, or in between, then learned to see all the miracles in them, even against the odds.
