The story of my life has been an Etch-A-Sketch of ups and downs. The highs and joys and triumphs are heaven. The lows and sorrows and failures…not so much. I find myself right now in the “below the line” season. It doesn’t really matter why or how I got here. And I know that “this, too, shall pass” just as every celebratory moment before it has. This, however, hurts.
Those wise old folks known as “they” tell us often that in moments of turmoil, we learn and grow the most. Tony Robbins, the self-proclaimed “I am not your guru” guru reminds us that “life is always happening for us, not to us.” I’m seasoned enough by now to realize this is true.
