Life's Challenges

As March comes in like a 'lamb', I have to wonder if it will go out like a 'lion'.

Time will tell.

As Joannie Rochette returns home from her courageous medal-winning performance at the Vancouver Olympic games, my heart goes out to her, as I know her grief healing journey has just begun.

She is young to go through life's important moments without her mother at her side.

I hope she will have her father with her well into her own senior years.

Each of us has something challenging in life to deal with, and some of us seem to have more than our 'fair share' of difficulties.

That is exactly the point. Life is unfair. For that very reason, we need to be fair to ourselves. That might mean something different for each of us.

For me it involves indulging and balancing two of my passions on at least a weekly basis.

Writing and hiking to the neglect of other things is being fair to myself.

Finding my passion, what brings me joy and inner peace, ultimately eases my journey through life's challenges.
