Remember:

If conditions become harsh, turn toward a sustaining warmth.
When the path is steep and rough, increase resolve.

Fragility doesn't equal defeat.

In inhospitable conditions, hang on and thrive.

Show confidence - walk on the wild side.

Life has both peaks and valleys. Understand and appreciate both.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. I too need to embrace those words and let them linger, hold on tight until I am ready to let go and live in the moment!
ReplyDeleteWow. That last image of you sitting looking out at the valley with the snow still on the side of the mountain is something else. I like the advice too. Carol
