Standing Strong
Pain, suffering, change, adversity.... in this game of life, is it about survival of the fittest, or is it simply flat-out survival?
It could be just about anything that challenges us, things like the unexpected health problem, or friends (or family) breaking your emotional spirits, perhaps even something analogous to the frog in the heating pot of water - for example, being entrenched in financial debt that has, before you've realized it, climbed in size as high as the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Sometimes it is a matter of consequence, other times choice, but often times it is both. Whatever it may be, it is all too real - we must face up to our antagonistic elements.
In the end, the strong stand tall.

Its about time you updated your blog!
I'm always impressed with what you have to say. This one is simple yet brilliant! What/who had inspired you to write this?
Hey Aimee,
Lots of things. People around me. I myself, have felt like losing it many times in the past, but I did not allow myself fall victim to my antagonistic elements. Throughout, I have always maintained my composure and kept my chin held high.
I hope this message reaches all well.
What you say is inspiring because it makes you realize no one is alone: everyone goes through rough patches
The thing to remind oursleves: there is sunshine at the end of the tunnel, even though it doens't seem like it sometimes, and that surrounding yourself with loved ones (friends and family), getting a good night sleep, fresh air and sunshine are the best rememdies to lifting the spirits.
I've always been fond of the saying, 'What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger'. I try to remind myself of that when I start feeling sorry for myself, which we all have a tendancy to do from time to time.
You have a wonderful way with words Dave. I'll be sure to check in more often.
Amy :-) (Mash)
