Mary’s Minute
“Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and
downs. But it’s your choice to scream or enjoy the ride.”
Over
the last year and a half, I have often compared my emotions to a roller
coaster. I thought we were stepping off the
ride of ups and downs – the ride of fun and horror. As COVID cases are soaring again with the
onset of the Delta variant, it feels like we need to take a Dramamine and brace
ourselves once again. We understand that
we are also tired of hearing of the pandemic and sometimes just tired. We thought surely by now, we would be done
talking about COVID. We are ready to
return to normal. One minute things feel
normal, and then suddenly we are jolted by information that makes us feel unsettled.
Now
more than ever, I need to remind myself that the one real choice we have is how
we react to situations. We can choose to
see the good and enjoy the good in life or we can scream. Life’s journey is full of ups and downs, but
the overall ride is a good one. Hold on
tight to the people around you, and keep smiling through the challenges – enjoy
the ride! We know that in adversity, the
best in people comes through. In tough
times, we come together for the good of all.
From challenges comes creative solutions and new ideas.
The
roller coaster ride may not be over, but the choice of whether to scream or enjoy
it still remains within each of us!
Have a good week!
Mary
