I complain so often about the ups and downs of life. I get tired of the rollercoaster and want off the ride. But I was just thinking about how life would be without the hills and valleys. How would I know what is "normal" and what is not normal? We had a health scare this week with my husband and there have been times over the last couple of years that I wondered about the future of our relationship because of some issues we'd been having. In the valley of this week, I was reminded of why I believe these things have to happen from time to time. I was reminded of what life might be without him and what I need to do to keep him healthy and our marriage healthy. I was reminded of the love we have and what has kept us together, through all the rough times and the good ones. But if we didn't have moments like this what would turn my way of thinking around? Would we have given up a long time ago? I hate to think we would have, but...
So I guess if anyone is reading this I hope you think of the place you are in. Are you on top of you hill or your rollercoaster or are you in the valley, wanting to get off the ride? And when you figure out where you are remember that is is all part of the journey and I believe we need to experience it all.
