Sometimes Life Is

Sometimes life is serene, just sailing along on a peaceful body of water, a refreshing breeze sending you skimming across the surface, the sun shining down caressing you as you relax letting the gentle wind carry you forward.

Sometimes life is a struggle, an upward climb on the side of the mountain, looming above you, no end in sight as you push forward, striving to place one foot in front of the other.

Sometimes life is an obstacle course with flat ground you race forward on in between the ten-foot wall you need to climb over and the mud pit you need to crawl through and the line of flames you need to run through, helping others as they in turn help you.

Sometimes life is a roller coaster ride, a slow, steady climb, a moment of suspension taking in the view and a wild out of control feeling of falling, swooping and tossing until the ride slows down and you come to rest at the landing and pause to catch your breath before leaping out and running around to jump back onto the ride for another go around.

Life is all of these things and more.  Life is to be lived and shared, its happy moments and its sad moments, its triumphs and its disappointments.

Live each day to its fullest potential!
