Insulation Works Both Directions

There is so much of wonder in the world outside my door. It remains less explored than in decades past. The enjoyment of nature scapes has not diminished nor have happy associations and friendships ceased to warm my heart. I find myself too often looking at and experiencing these through a glass or other distance and wondering how long before the renewal of spring and warmth of summer? New possibilities to explore have been waiting for winter freeze to thaw. These changes go on continuously like water moves as a liquid or a gas unconfined. Insulation in a frozen life holds the cold in and keeps the spring time out.

Holding On to the Sides

I'm certain there are many things in the everyday life of anyone that can be labeled scary. I wonder sometimes if living the scary life isn't the most difficult thing to do. When I meet anyone who understands how scary life can be I know I've met a kindred soul who has seen their own challenges. It goes without saying the beating heart the palms & soles of perspiration are but the more outward indicators of how scary life is today. How it turns out may be determined by holding on and bracing for the ride.
