What a crazy roller coaster ride life is, huh? Im kinda reflecting on that this morning. The ups and downs of a year. Of a day even. In my mind, I close my eyes and visualize the down side of the hill, that feeling of the drop in the pit of your stomach, that sensation of plunging that kind of spins your mind and makes your eyes close as you await the impact. That is where my life is at right now. But in my mind, I see the hill coming as my cart reaches the plateau at the bottom and the inertia from my fall raises me with a speed that pulls the hair from my face and life clasps me in the winds of change, bringing me to new peak, a new plain, rushing forward with the exhilaration of the moment. Rises and Falls. Ups and Downs. Twists and Turns. Thats what makes life the ride that is. Every moment can not be a peak because if it wasnt for the plunge to the bottom we wouldnt appreciate the view at the top. With the approach of the new year, its like facing the moment when your cart is leaving the station, beginning a new set of loops at top speeds with drops and hills of whole new proportions. What better time than now to reflect back on the ride the last year has been and think over each bend in your track, seeing how its brought you to the place your in right now. Maybe youve gained a new found thrill of adventure or lost some things along the way, like the hats and sunglasses you always see in the net beneath the track, items swept away by the speed of change. Perhaps you spent the year with your hands in the air enjoying each moment that brought you out of your seat and stole your breath for a while. Or maybe you rode with your eyes closed and your hands gripping tight to the safety harness. You may have come through banged up, some of you may be a little sore or nauseous. Maybe a little broken. But you made it through. You rode your ride and your here to ride a little bit more. Im excited. No matter what my track looks like or how many falls I might take, theres always a thrill to the adventure. A rush in knowing I get to take the ride in the first place. Even the longest drop rises again. Theres always moments at the top to look forward to. Moments that steal your breath. So light and love to you all, heres hoping your at the peak of your track today and that you have a long hold before have to brace for a fall. And if you feel like youre at bottom, I hope the rise ahead has you soaring with joy. No matter what, remember, ups or downs, theres always someone riding beside you. Dont be afraid to grab a hand.
