Throughout our lives we go through many things,
Most are so wonderful they bring joy to our lives.
Many are the normality of life that is part of us,
But sometimes we come to times of trial that stop us,
They stop us for a while but we can get through them.
That is when looking back on your life at these times
We then realise one of the most important things in life,
If there was not a price to pay in our lives for those trials,
We would not know that we learned something through them.

Had a real hammer blow long time ago which made me e-evaluate everything. Turning upside down a lot of things i thought i had the measure of. Am I the better for it... I think so, but I am biased after all.
I think it has made me more resilient and able take things life throws at me in a more measured manner. I count my blessings as being fortunate for the way i live, think and communicate and most of all I am thankful for having a positive outlook.
Excellent writing from you today Andy..... very thought provoking especially fot those hoping to change a few things as the approaching new year seems to create a milestone from which to start in a lot of minds. Start gently would be my advice and don't be put off by things if you trip-up, just get up, dust yourself down and start again on your path.
Thank you for your words d a, they are so true, starting gently is the way to go but just do not give up.

Good write Gold.
But meanwhile - what about me singing 'trials'? They're a trial to me tutor. I've learnt nothing through them. Not learnt how to sing better anyway! lol.
Why tutor say to me: 'If at first, or after a thousand times, you don't succeed - give up!' heehee.
Thanks Orchi.
Never give up.

Sad it can take so long to see... so very true and a big thank you..
Yes it can take a long time Dan but you have found that way into your marvellous life that is coming to you.
Andy
Very true. Sometimes it's 1 step forward and 2 steps back. But bit by bit we will overcome. Thank you.
Yes Rozina, it may take time but we WILL overcome it.

Great reflective write Andy. Thankfully Jeanne's problems seem to be being addressed and we have hope for my son whose business is in dire straits thanks to covid but on reflection I do believe we will all pull through. Currently listening to some erdhu music - so relaxing and a great way to calm the mind.
So glad that Jeanne's problems are being addressed. Times are hard for many businesses but hopefully all will be well.
Keep o relaxing Michael and all will be calmness to us all.

Positive words and a true retrospection makes a man rise from fall again
Those are powerful words
The essence of life
Loved the ending
So well stringed together
“ If there was not a price to pay in our lives for those trials,
We would not know that we learned something through them.”
Thank you spilleronsheet, much appreciated.

You can't know joy if you've never suffered pain we need light and dark to appreciate the good times, beautifully penned. ☺
Very true wh, may that light be forever in your life.
