Spot on post @snook. Spot on my beautiful lady.
Is there a reason we all have ups and downs?
Would life cease to have real meaning if happy was the norm?
I have thought and contemplated about this Notion for many years now. And I am totally convinced as it relates to my own Life and those around me that Life would not be nearly as sweet and special if we did NOT have the down times. No question !
It just humbles you and helps you drain the f@cking shit out of the good times when they come around ... you know, Carpe Diem :)
