Roller Coasters

What’s your favorite roller coaster? 
​

I loved Universal Studios Dueling Dragons. Simultaneous fear and delight.

​
Gone now, but forever the perfect balance in my mind.

​
I’ve been on a bit of a real life roller coaster the past few months, with a series of challenges hitting me hard and fast from one side and then the other.

​
In the midst of trials, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed or adrift, to lose sight of hope and the possibility of new joys and delights just around the corner.

​
What really helped me through? Good friends, neighbors, colleagues, and family who were there to share the pain, hear my worries, and hold my hand while I worked my way from darkness to light.

​
There are good reasons the classic marriage vows speak of commitment for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.

​
Let’s be there for those we love through storms and sunshine. Life is an unpredictable roller coaster, so buckle up and treasure all the moments together.

​
Here’s to failing forward,

Anne
