I like to think about the landscape of life because life does seem to be a series of plains, hills, and valleys. Some hills are as high as mountains and some valleys are deep and dark, others are closer to the flatness of plains. As I traverse this life journey, I'm increasingly more aware of the subtle changes in elevation and what those changes do to my energy, outlook, efforts, and accomplishment.
Today as I dipped into a shallow valley because I had used up almost all my energy in the past few days, I gave into the dip rather than fight it. The shallow valley of a day allowed me good time to think, review, and wonder about the days ahead. I need days like this, and hopefully I'll use what I learned tomorrow as I embark on a few new efforts aimed at the days ahead. Onward.
