Life is littered with disappointments …
But it is the disappointments that serve as the marinade
To what could otherwise be a bland, tasteless existence
For it is an essential ingredient of life
That sinking feeling of disappointment, the suspense leading to the culmination …
The aftermath
of
should, could and would have’s
are the perfect companion to the gloom and morose
But..
Without it…
How could one truly appreciate
how it contrasts with the euphoric feeling …
Of YESSSSSS!
Me happy on a cliff in Hawaii
The realization of success
which
links to the
acquisition of our respective conquests.
Shun P.'s interactions with Mother Nature 
I like this. Without the negative we can’t be positively strong.
I agree Beth, often we forget to be appreciative for our respective life stumbles.
Thanks for chiming in!
