"Variety is the spice of life."
~ American Proverb ~
A number of years back, when I went white water rafting, the rapids were my favorite part, and I found the floating bits along still water almost excruciatingly dull. From where I sit today, I can see how lopsided my perspective was, and how black and white my thinking.
I appreciate the smooth water and the white water equally today, and understand the blessing in them both.
Everything that happens is its own particular kind of gift.
