Murky

Word of the Day......

Murky....adj......obscure dimness, fogginess.

Sometimes things get murky. Not only the weather, but also life in general.  Our sense of direction gets off.  We know there is a better road; we just can't find it.  We so want to be at the top of that mountain where the view is clear and unobstructed....where plans are laid out in a nice neat path and we simply follow them....where we can skip down that Yellow Brick Road.  But guess what?  Life isn't like that.  There are hours, days, weeks and even months where life is just MURKY.  Our compass is off; we know there is change coming, but we don't know where, when nor how.  I think the important thing is to remember that strength comes from murkiness.  Character is built. Confidence is made. It's okay to be gloomy when life is murky....not as a way of life, but somehow as a soother. We can't hide those feelings,but we can't let them overtake our lives. We endure until  that blue sky and clear sailing comes, and when they do come, life becomes that much sweeter because we've endured the murky days. We've held strong to our beliefs that there is a pinnacle just in front of us and we will get there. Don't let the MURKIES get you down.  They are temporary.  They won't win.  You will!!
