A few weeks ago we headed out on a camping trip. An occurrence that I\u2019ve had a lot in my life, but not one I\u2019ve had lately was the winding roads. My son riding in the backseat didn\u2019t remember taking such a zig zag trek before. Especially as it was misty, cloudy, and dusk. It left my son feeling a little queasy as we stretched on for a few miles. As I made sure he was ok, and reassured him we were almost out of this stretch he couldn\u2019t quite see it coming. Life can be a lot like that. For me these past few years have seemed like we were traveling that long windy road, and I like my son don\u2019t see where that is coming to an end. No matter how much we\u2019re reassured it should we can\u2019t always find the spot within us to reassure it will. That\u2019s the consistent part of life is that we don\u2019t usually get to know. Yet we have to tread on no matter how difficult the terrain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it\u2019s important to remember that as you reach that point on the hike that appears straight up don\u2019t give up. There is a light at the end of that path, and if you need to stop to catch your breath then do so. It doesn\u2019t mean that five steps later you won\u2019t feel the same, but the more you try the more endurance you build up. However, with that endurance comes the next challenge, the next winding road, or the next hike that is even steeper. It will be easy to forget that you\u2019ve been here before, felt the same way, and made it out. And in that moment even if you remember it probably won\u2019t be very encouraging. You\u2019ll get through it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly is don\u2019t forget to take it all in. Chances are you are surrounded by something incredible, and some significant awesomeness. So, don\u2019t forget to take it all in. I Iike to think of how the scanner takes it\u2019s time as it goes over the whole area. Often longer than seems necessary, but it doesn\u2019t want to miss the details or the small things. Live life like a scanner. Not one looking for defects, but one that doesn\u2019t want to miss a thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
