Lately I have seen a lot of memes across various social media platforms that depict an individual tripping and falling, or sliding gainfully downhill reaching wildly at side lying branches to stop their fall or at least slow their descent. These images come with the caption of “My Life” or “My Day” or even “How my Month is going.” We see these on our friends posts and tend to Like, Comment, Share as we have been automated to do. Today, I saw one and laughed, as I too, chose to re-share it in a private message thinking how much it related to the chaos of my life and knew my friend would understand the humor in the meme. Then, I couldn’t get the image out of my head and the more I thought on it, the more I realized that I didn’t think it was funny and certainly wasn’t true. I have blogged before about how crazy and chaotic my life can be and there are days, weeks, months that seem like I just may not be able to keep it altogether. Like everyone else in the world we all have times that we slip and fall, sometimes far and fast and on those times we shouldn’t laugh, but be there to help our friends in need. Maybe by simply asking “What can I do to make your day better?” Our lives should not resemble a slippery slope but that of the carousel . Everyday is full of ups and downs as the circle of life takes us round and round but we continue and if we stay focused we can make sure that we enjoy the ride. The music, the lights, the laughter of those with which we share the adventure, these are the memories that we need to remember. Stay True to Yourself, Be Kind to Others, and Never Give Up.
