It's the climb...


This park down the street from Mark and Tiff's home holds many happy memories for us. So many soccer games and walks to play at Fish Park with the Grands. We have brought the doggies here so they can run and play too. 

I've mentioned before that I park my car at Fish Park several times a year and go for a walk on the canyon road. The view of the mountains are always inspiring. 



Sometimes that climb back up seems challenging but other times I feel like nothing can stop me. Life has its up and downs also. "Problems form an important part of our lives. They are placed in our path for us to overcome them, not to be overcome by them. We must master them, not let them master us. Every time we overcome a challenge, we grow in experience, in self-assuredness, and in faith. When we push ourselves beyond our perceived capacity—that we discover within ourselves the courage, fortitude, and faith to continue the journey." As the Australian mountaineer Greg Child put it, “Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery of why we climb.”

It's not about the mountain, it's the climb.

Keep Climbing...
