As I have been working through my own problems, discovering difficult things about myself and learning to rise above them, I see others around me dealing with things beyond my comprehension. Illness, death, deep personal loss.
As I ponder on my life and how many blessings I've had - how many hills and obstacles I've managed to overcome - I am grateful for it all. Through it I've learned that we all need to hold on to each other. We are all a part of this journey.
If we humans reach out and hold each other, we can walk this journey of life so much better. Together we can traverse the darkness and together celebrate the joys.
