life is heartbreaking, soul awakening, amazing, awful, ordinary and most of all temporary

Today, I am grateful to be getting increasingly more comfortable with the temporariness of life. We move through moments of joy, failure, fear, sadness, passion, lust, boredom, and so much more. Often, we believe one feeling, one experience will never end, or we cling desperately to it trying to ensure it never will. Enjoy the highs, hold steady through the lows, and remember...this too shall pass. 

I am learning how to appreciate life's ebb and flow. 

I accomplished keeping my heart open through discomfort when I would have previously shut down.  

I delighted in seeing the fog form a skirt around a mountain, in getting fired up about new ideas at work, and in a hug from my dad.
