Roller Coaster Ride

Queen Me talks . . . .

Okay, so I haven't gotten on a roller coaster (unless kiddie rides count) for a long, long time. My Monday, though, turned out to be just that. The good news came in the morning from my accountant. I owe no taxes this year (seems we finally got the withholding stuff figured out:). The bad news arrived in the afternoon. My mother-in-law has cancer.

So, as we continue to ride the ride we go up and down. Sometimes we scream, sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry. Occassionally we step off the ride, and we find ourselves living. And I think, seeking the same things--joy, peace and love.

Yoga Queen shares . . . .

As I looked back upon my day, I recognized how my emotions ran the gamut from peaceful to happy to frustrated to feeling love to anger to that pit in your stomach thinking I had missed a deadline. And then I came across this quote by Buddha: Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all. Hmmm . . . something to think about, for sure!
