This is Peanut Butter Brickle. You know, nothing valuable in life comes easy. Actually nothing at all in life comes easy. I’ve learned this in my years.
Every place I have visited has taught me something. I may not know exactly why I need to learn it at the time. But years later, I may recall a lesson. I still recall many lessons Digby and I learned together.
In my case right now, well, I know the lesson as I live it. Because every day we walk in this England place.
And it’s all uphill. Well. Until it’s downhill. You don’t really have a choice if you want to walk. You just have to climb. And then, you just have to slide down. It’s very steep. Both ways. It’s hard both ways.
And this lesson in life shows me that it takes effort to succeed. And it take effort to not succeed. We will put forth energy both ways.
So we might as well try to get uphill.
There will always be someone there to tell us not to try. And that someone may be ourselves. It was hard to make the decision to come here on a plane. There were a lot of things that could have gone wrong for me. I know that.
But when I see how happy we all are so far, even though we are still very tired, I know the uphill climb was what I needed to do.
We are here in this England place another two weeks.
And I can say that I’m happy to keep climbing uphill. I’m happy to keep trying. Even if some days I can’t. I’ll wake up with the mindset to try. Even if some days the persons give me a break to catch my breath. I’m happy to do that. Especially if they bring back food.
Trying may be all I can do some days. But wherever I am now, I know I can do anything. That’s the great thing about uphill battles. When you see how far you’ve come, you know how truly strong you can be. And then, it’s ready to conquer the next hill. Because you’re still here. And that’s such a good thing.
