Tommy this was such a delight in my inbox. My biggest takeaway is that every day is like summiting a mountain for the first time. Just when the terrain looks unchanging and never-ending, a great ascent or a great descent comes into view. New challenges present themselves that we have no experience to get through on our own. We trip, we fall, we forget bear spray, we reach the summit, we do it all over again. Most days I don't feel like my lungs are about to explode but I do know that I wouldn't be able to do any of it without true companions - those that help you on your journey, those that hold you at the bottom, and those that celebrate with you on the top.
Thank you Haley for reading and leaving such a beautiful reflection.
I love the analogy—so good. One angle I wanted to explore more was companionship. How I couldn’t have made it up without friends, how life is hard but we don’t have to go alone, and the connection forged in persisting through adversity with people.
I hope one day you get to summit a mountain every day (literally not just metaphorically).
