Climbing with Cockleburs


Do you have days like this? My day already started feeling like it was going to be ONE OF THOSE DAYS! I take it in stride. You live this long, you can either fight it or roll with it. I have a meeting in 45 minutes. I won't make it to this one. I figure there will ALWAYS be another.

When I was little and played out in the fields I always had cockleburs on my socks. I hated them, but after a while I learned to play with them in spite of how annoying they were. Poignant. This is how life is.

I come from a family of drama. It's fun. We live life fully. Whether it be playing or a crisis. We have learned to stand by each other as we climbed many mountains with cockleburs in our socks.
