"I learned more about economics from one South Dakota dust storm that I did in all my years in college."
~ Hubert Humphrey ~
Hard times make for good stories. Stories connect us to others, and others remind us that we are not alone, and that we all have stories. They are part of the ride and part of the dance.
But mixed in with the hard-time stories are the beautiful moments, awe-inspiring views, and delicious meals; the music, the sunshine, and the deep satisfying sleeps.
Life is a mix of hard times and beautiful moments and I welcome them both.
