I've Been There Before, and I'll Be There Again

i've always found comfort in the idea that winter is officially a beginning, with everything ahead of you spring loaded. Winter has this beautiful way of putting its hand on your shoulder and reminding you that difficulty now means the best of life later. And so when you find yourself in the wint s of life, remember their inpermanence. While difficult, while trying, these times are starting blocks, and nothing of value comes to fruition. But then there' spring, when that believing is rewarded, the seeds begin to grow root and emerge from the ground. It's no more a burden than a blessing.
