Our lives begin as a journey . . . and it continues to the end of life. We are meant to learn and grow throughout our lifetime - to make the most of our time here on earth - to become a better person and to do good things. During that time we encounter peaks, valleys, and sometimes we get to rest on the plateaus: "a state of little or no change following a period of activity or progress".
I can think of a number of situations while I was growing up and, again as I was raising my girls as a single mom, that challenged me and I struggled with "why"?
I have learned, continue to learn, and now believe that whatever each of us goes through, we can find and take away something positive from every situation. We may not see it at first, however, looking back we can hopefully say, "Oh, that's why I needed to go through that! Now I understand . . ."
'Til the next time . . .
