Lately I feel that with every conversation I have with friends and family I hear of the speed bumps and detours and difficulties that have been going on in their lives. Some are just speed bumps. Little things that slow them down that they learn from and pretty quickly get right back up to speed and back to "normal". Others have detours- things that bring them to a stop, and cause them to have to really figure out what direction they are going to go in to get past their detour.
Through all these conversations I've felt immense gratitude at what speed bumps and detours our family has faced compared to some much more serious and dangerous things they are facing and the things we have learned from them.
What I've also observed is the happiness people display as they face these detours in their lives and overcome them. I know we will face many more of these speed bumps and detours. I hope I can remember the gratitude and happiness I've been observing from those around me as they are going through their hard times.
