Things Can Change In An Instant
Last week, I wrote how Sheila and I have had a rough two months with some relatively 'normal' health stressors for us. What is 'normal' for us is not even close to what is normal for most. Even so, it was a rough couple of months with health nonsense.
We had felt as though we were in thick woods for two months and then, suddenly, we emerged into a sunny, colorful meadow... That was a tremendous feeling of relief and very welcomed!
Now, less than a week later, we are feeling as though our sunny meadow quickly was overcome by the surrounding forest and now we are a bit lost in a deeper, darker, danker forest.. devoid of sunlight... seeing only tree trunks in front of us blocking our view any farther than we can physically reach with our hands... not knowing which way to go. A few times each day we find ourselves hopeful that we'll find that colorful meadow again but our hopes are consistently and quickly dashed each time.
Suddenly, like during the past two months, all we can see is a dark, unwelcoming and potentially unfriendly forest...
No matter how healthy one is proclaimed to be at one moment in time, unfortunately, none of us know what the next moment will bring.
My advice... and fortunately, I always lived my life this way... if you are capable of doing something you deeply desire to do, you need to do it now while you can.
A deep, dark, dank forest can envelope and swallow anyone in an instant.
Now... where the hell is my compass?
