Facebook reminded me that six years ago today I said, "I've finally found myself in a place with relatively easy FB access. I've also found myself in a place where the high reached 116 F. You take the good with the bad."
Looking back, that post sums up one of the more jarring six month experiences with my life. I'm not fighting the heat as much anymore. That's for sure.

Looking back, I think I might have learned a thing or two and I'm not sure Facebook access or 116 F temperatures qualify for either "good" or "bad" modifiers.

In fact, I'm finding that bucketing events or things or people or just about anything else into those categories is an exceedingly unhealthy habit. Walking and the last six years of experience have taught me that I'm just not smart, insightful, or objective enough to determine if something....anything is good or bad. Most things just are, and my reaction to them defines them from my perspective.
The very fact that I'm experiencing the world around me is an amazing gift of the universe regardless of how the universe feels about my preconceived notions and expectations. It's all been a glorious gift, and I'm looking forward to unwrapping tomorrow.
