Life always comes around full circle. Always. Everyday on my bike ride home from work, I stop at a bird sanctuary down the street from my house. It's a place where I unwind, reflect, and seek for peace. Everyday is a challenge, but I've discovered that as long as I come out on top, it's "a good day". With that in mind, I have "good days" more often than not, especially in the moment I stand in the place where I took the above picture and say to myself, "Self, well done. You tried your best today and came out on top." I am so grateful for a loving God who abundantly compensates the rest as we diligently try our best. My faith in God is ultimately the only thing that brings me peace in the chaotic confusion and challenges of life. He created the circle of life, and that circle never ends. It's infinitely cycling through despair and hope, through faith and doubt...till we find our place, on the path unwinding...in the circle, the circle of life. (I love The Lion King)
