"The Climb"

Well, it has officially been 1 FULL year by one day since I've posted a blog. Unreal, since it does not feel like a year at all. A lot has happened since then in my personal life and my professional life as well. I've since resigned my former roll in radio in Austin, TX and am now back in Nashville, TN. Otherwise known as "NASHvegas. Just before the big move, we sold our home in the first day it was posted, we had a newborn baby (6 wks old when arrived in Nashville), new job, moving away from family, but moving to family. Basically our life had been turned up side down. All things good, but just too much change for one to handle. It's been quite a year to reflect on I must say.

This year has shown me that it's not always about winning or completing the race. Life really is about the race itself and finishing strong and with our heads up no matter what place we're in. The strain and struggles from start to finish are what truly strengthens you and inspired you to finish strong. Miley Cyrus sings it best in her new song "The Climb" listed below...

-------------------------------------------
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Our lives really are about "the climb". That's where the character in us is built. God knows that I need the climb and not a win every time. I believe that if we can keep our focus on today, that tomorrow will be more of a trill and blessing that we could have ever imagined.
