Life's landscape

 Sometimes we live waiting for the end to something, yet eventually we learn that life will always be a mix of struggle and strength--there will be good and bad and in-between all at the same time. That's how life is. So rather than what's happening, it's how you live amongst all that scatter--it's the values that drive you, the actions you consistently engage in, and the people you spend time with. 

I thought about this as one struggle replaced another and as I looked out at life's landscape and recognized the large array of events at play. Then I thought about the actions, people, values and routines that ground me, make me happy, and give me and others strength. No matter what's happening in life, it's critical to maintain time for the people, activities, and outlook that make you the positive, strong, happy, good person you can be. Onward.
