UPs & downs, life’s full of them.

Just what does that mean?

Mostly I think it’s about experiences and happenings that are widely perceived as “positive” or “negative”. Come to think of it though, at least in my experience and thinking about that phrase and characterization, it might be more about the ups and downs of my attitude, how I’m feeling at any given time.

I think the big lesson for me, after nearly 60 years on this earth, is learning to find, accept, maintain, and even enjoy the middle ground, the in-between, the halfway between up and down. Because if we can achieve that equilibrium of attitude, of feelings, and expectations, we’re a lot better off.
