Gratitude Monday - Still Standing
Sometimes the only thing that matters is that we're still standing. No matter what we've done, or think we've done, as long as we're here we can make up for it, live it down, or shrug our shoulders, smile, and say to hell with you.
All that matters is we've got the time to learn, to grow, or do nothing at all if that's our choice.
It's another day with nothing in it yet to do with as we please.
What say we make the best of it?

make the best of it and, for me, try to work WITH any roadblocks and obstacles and NOT try to MOTOR at them and plow over them.
Well said, cousin!
Still standing (even standing still) is better than the alternative! :)
Miz, working with obstacles is the the tricky part, but it can be done.
Thank you, David.
df Bag Lady, thanks. You're so right.
Oh yes indeed! I am grateful that I made it out of the gorge without rescue personnel assisting me too.
I'm grateful you did, too, Reb. Looking forward to your pics and story.
I agree, Leah! Some of the most interesting subjects for my artworks are forgotten trees like the one you've shown. Yes, we should be thankful for every moment that we can get out there and view such subjects and make the best out of every day we have.
Thank you, Redbush. Good for you for enjoying the world as it is and celebrating it in art.
We make the best of what we've got today, since that's all we can really be sure of. The medieval world believed in the Wheel of Fortune: sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. It doesn't really mean much where you are today because the wheel keeps turning.
An pessimist would say that means if you're on top, you'll fall. I say it means no matter how many times you're on the bottom or seem to be going nowhere, you'll rise.
That's right, Bunnygirl. All we can count in is right now. I agree with your view. As long as the wheel is turning we will rise again.
Absolutely. What a wise post, and I love the photo.
And speaking of wisdom -- loved Bunnygirl's comment, too. :)
Thanks so much, Thomma Lyn.
Bunnygirl is very wise.
Wonderful point! One to live by, I think.
Hello Lover of Life. Thanks.
Wise words and food for thought.
