As we journey through life, it can sometimes feel like we will go on forever. Time flies, and we eventually realize that it’s all happening much faster than we know, with a definite end at some point. I’ve learned that every challenging experience is something to face with intention, learn from, and move through. Conversely, every wonderful experience is something to cherish and treasure, in the moment and in retrospect.
