The Other Side of the Path

 

The Final Prompt: What is one thing you’ve started noticing more because of this challenge?

I don't know that I noticed things *more* so much as realized that I have all I need, really. There are many things wrong in my life, don't get me wrong, but there are also many more things that are right, whether that's the blue sky out my window or the ringtone on my phone, which is, appropriately enough for me, from the Lord of the Rings movies. 

Life can be harrowing. It can be painful. It can be sad. It can be lonely. And yet it can also be full of wonder. It can hold joy. It can be filled to the brim with sunshine and pansies. 

It's easy to fall into a frame of mind that sees only one way and not the other. If this challenge reminded me of anything, it's to always try to find the other side of the path if I don't like the one I'm on.
