Well, it’s been a week of distance. I feel distance from just about everything around me. Even feel distance from those high above me.
It’s not a good feeling, but I’m starting to think that there is just no way for me “up” all the time. Yeah, I was down not to long ago, but when I came back up I guess I tried to talk myself into thinking that should be the last time I’ll be down for a while.
It seems there is nothing I can do to avoid the inevitable. I think it is also harder on me to try to fight my way through it rather than just chill out, learn from this down time, and just know that it will more than likely dissipate over time.
If I really thought about it, if I could enjoy the valleys of life, or maybe respect the valleys of life, more, then maybe I could also respect the mountains of life more. Not sure about that one, but I’ve made a mental note.
If my memory serves me correctly, even those heroes of the bible (David, Paul, John, even Jesus himself) had valleys and mountains of life. I didn’t do any Bible searching before making that statement. Some of you scholars can probably give plenty of examples to each of those. Either way, why should I expect anything different than what they experienced? I shouldn’t.
I also attribute some of this yuckiness to the medicine that I’m taking. I really think it is starting to wear my body down more and more. Yet another reason to go ahead and get the surgery done. I’ve a Dr. appt on March 18th. Plenty of time to think about it.
Whatever the case, I’m going to venture to say that it’s not recovering from anything that causes these valleys of life. I think it’s just life. Enjoy it while you’ve got it.
Because of HIM

I can relate to the valleys in life. Climbing out is tough, but makes us so strong. I think experiencing the hard times truly makes me appreciate the good. I can’t imagine the internal struggles you have…keep up the great posts, they are so inspiring!

Hi Scott,
Valleys….a part of life. You’ve got your faith, though, and with that – you know who’s walking beside you through this all. Your mountaintop is out there, my friend…
