New Shoes

Hi all!

Sometimes in life we fall, get back up, fall, get back up, and keep pushing forward. Then there are times we feel like we are climbing the mountain and the progress stops. Our feet keep slipping, we keep fighting, but no ground is gained. We finally wave the white flag and slip all the way to the bottom. I think some of us do this realizing that if we start climbing from the bottom we can have a sense of comfort to simply be climbing again. Progress beats the heck out of slipping, falling, and grabbing for roots, but getting nowhere. Maybe its time to change our shoes. Maybe its time to change our running partners for those that you can look to that will pull you up to the next ledge when you slip. Maybe its time to trade routes to the summit for a much drier one with firmer footing. Today is the day to hit that mountain with a tenacious hunger and desire to make another push to the summit. As I had this thought on the drive this morning, the sun began to rise over the mountains reminding me that today is a new and beautiful day. The skies are clear.... What a great day to climb!
