Peaks and Valleys

Hello!

Just saying....I am glad to be here!

So, I have been thinking....about peaks and valleys. I was born and raised in the Ohio Valley. Beautiful landscape! Oh....but I did not know that when I lived there! Funny how we take for granted the things around us that have always been there....it is like it is part of our world that just is....

When I was in the Hudson Valley in NY, I was surprised at how much the valley looked like the one I grew up in.....well, one thing I don't think I mentioned was rock....solid rock!

I have an odd attraction to rock and stone....yep, I even collect them! Ok, I even have them out and displayed so my grandchildren can get the big book down and look up a rock and we can talk about it. Some of my grandchildren like dinosaurs and some like cars; but all of them seem to have an interest in my rocks. Yes, they all like Legos!

So, when we look at the rocks we talk about the peaks and valleys that many rocks have....I know, I know...some are smooth and some are polished, but I am thinking of the ones with peaks and valleys....like my hunk of amethyst.

It is interesting to me that the peaks and valleys support one another...take one away and you don't have the other. Unless the valley is cut off and the peak just plunges into nothingness.

I was studying this rock cliff that I caught on my NY trip and the peaks and valleys. If not for the peaks, the valleys would have no shade from the sun and if not for the valleys, there would be no place to level out and rest.

Funny about peaks and valleys. They do well together, really.

Same way in our lives. When we are on the peak we should rejoice, shout WOOHOO, and soak up the sun! When we are in a valley, perhaps it is time to level out, rest and just get through what we are going through. We can always look up, we can always sit in the shade and be thankful that the peaks are still there for us to climb on again...otherwise, we might just slip off into nothingness.
