For as long as we are on our journey the one thing that we learn is that there will be highs and lows. Not good and bad, just different experiences that manifest themselves in moments of happiness and sometimes sadness. Might be elation and or disappointment. Some days fantastic and others just ok. The point is that life is not just a monotone existence, it pushes us and shepherds us and yet to live life on the positive side it is up to us. It is ours to choose how we feel and for how long we stay there. And a big part of how we feel is the people, friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances and others that come in and out of our lives, semi-permanent and yet always important. Let’s make sure to find a way to hold on tight to these relationships as they are foundational and provide oxygen for the soul. And when we do this well our journey just gets a lot better.

Loving life when I hold on tight
