Life throws so many unexpected things at us when we are walking thru it's valleys.

We deal with, adapat, learn to live with, then move on.

Then these things either go away, or linger like some rotten disease that we can never truly irradiate from our system, but we have learned to live with and ignore the pain.

So hopefully we stay focused straight ahead and eventually find our way out of the valley of doom and gloom with the uphill battle that inevitably occurs when one is leaving a valley.

And then we hit the top of the hill.

The view is breathtaking. The serenity or joy or love that hits us enraptures the heart and mind. The air is thinner up here so we even may get a little giddy.

Now some people would say that you only have down to go from here.

This is true, because you can't stop time and you can't stop moving forward, no matter how much you think the contrary.
And once you have hit the top of a hill it usually does eventually lead to another valley.

You could be a pisser and focus on the fact that the next valley is coming.

I prefer to realise that the valley is coming, and at the same time focus on soaking in the beauty of this hill top and all the surrounding glory. That way, when the valley does come, I can remember its beauty and its glory and find joy in its memory. That way I can take comfort in the fact that there is another hilltop coming.

And this cycle continues till the day we die, and it continues for every generation alive and after ours, just like it did before us.

Hopefully a few more people learn to look around and remember when they are on the top and not when they are in the valley.
