After a hefty amount of snow, a near death experience on the freeway, and a run of sub-zero temperatures... today is gorgeous.
It reminds me that life cycles. Things don't stay the same for very long. I'd like my moody oscillations to trend up overall, though, and luckily, I think I'm being successful in that. I've still had my requisite ups and downs for the last several weeks and months, but overall there's a placid background of contentment... something I never really had a few years back.
It's likely that I'll hit some pretty low lows in the not so distant future. That's just life's way. So, I try to remind myself to be prepared for when they come. I try to ground myself with a constant awareness of what is most important to me in my life and where I want to find myself and my family next year, in five years, in thirty years...
And thirty years from now it's unlikely I'll remember this day at all. But it will have made me (in part) into whatever I will have become. And for that I'm very grateful for the beauty and the serenity of today.

I'm really glad you blog. Thanks for the glimpse into positivity. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice mental image this post creates! Thanks for the uplifting thought.
I had my own near death experience on the freeway yesterday and this is our third straight snow day, err I should say ice day, it is an ice rink out there!
