Life and Elevators

The ups and downs of life sometimes are so hard to understand.  I've been thinking an awful lot about my grandparents lately and craving the simplicity of swinging in the wooden homemade swing and picking tomatoes from the garden.  Our world feels so complicated today and I often could use a gentle reminder of gentler times.  Life is a lot lighter of a load when you remember the good stuff.  

When scrolling through instagram I saw this elevator meme and it stayed with me all day long on into the night.  It's painful watching our people get off along the way and sometimes unsettling when new ones get on.  The thought of the door closing too fast combined with getting stuck with no escape is chilling for me.  My problem is trying to pack my elevator with everyone I meet along the way and you can't possibly fit them all in.  You may have to leave some on different floors and truthfully, some may need to be left in the basement.  If your elevator is filled with negative people bringing stress to your life, push the button, stop and let them off.  It never hurts to put on some new music either.




The beautiful moon shines on us all tonight and it reminds me that we rely on each other when we can't do it alone.  May your elevator play the tunes you like all the way to the top floor!
