or does this NOT make any sense at all?
We say things like:
It's an uphill battle
It's like swimming upstream
I used to walk to school and it was uphill both ways
They're in a downward spiral
Snowball effect
It's all downhill from here
They're over the hill.
Um.
OK.
To me..... that seems like up or down, it's bad either way.
Right?
In reality ......
hiking up a mountain?
Is breathtaking.
It's hard....
there are pains
aches
injuries
cuts
bruises
sometimes scars that never fade......
BUT
when we reach the summit?
It is the best feeling in the world.
Getting OVER the hill?
It's just.....
wonderful.
Going DOWN the hill?
It's easy!
I've been feeling like our oldest has been snowballing...... (as "they" say).....
and now?
He's coming back up the hill.....
and it's a GOOD thing.
In my mind......
(and it's a crazy place to be)
up OR down......
it's all beneficial.
It's NOT bad either way.....
it's MEANINGFUL both ways....
