If dreams were lighting, thunder was desire

It takes a storm for the skies to clear, for a rainbow to come. Sometimes you have to put up with the rain and the clouds and the stuck-inside days just to get the sun again, to see the bright color's in the sky. Compromise and sacrifice are part of life, especially a life shared with various other people. It's also about understanding and compassion - and it is a complicated dance to balance it all, but when you have the right dancing partner it always just falls into place (even if you do step on each others toe's from to time!)I'm still learning, and despite everything I think I know - I really know nothing. I take in what I can, retain what's important - and do my best to keep up the pace. That's life though, time is always escaping - life is always happening. You have your whole life to do something, and that's not very long. Take each moment as it comes, regret nothing, and live in the now. You'll miss all the good stuff, if you keep worrying about yesterday and tomorrow. Nothing has taught this better to me than parenthood - go with it, cause your not getting out alive anyways.
