Life is frequency. Peaks and valleys. Yin and Yang. How we remember, or more to the point, the lessons we take away from the floors and apexes determine what we allow ourselves to know about….ourselves.

The dark times, such as fear, are very compelling because we flinch at discomfort; a very easy and frequent stimulus/reaction.

On the other hand, pleasure, comfort, and happiness can be just as compelling; more compelling than the dips. The highs are harder to fully engage because we approach them with caution and have a difficult time fully embracing those notions.Those moments may suddenly be jerked away, and with them would go all emotional investment.

Of course, I speak as if I know everything. I’m not sure I know all bout myself…

I am happy with the very simple things in life — which are really its richest gifts. Have had those precious moments like you describe with your family, Kim. Life is always changing; I don’t see how we can really remain in that state or any other one state. But, I think we can try to manage our attitude.

Love the happy moment you just shared with us! This might be harder than one might think. I have a tendency to be happy most of the time…such little things make me happy, truly happy.
