Two Sides of One Coin
Originally, I had other thoughts when I thought about the small pieces of silver and copper we hold in our hands through out the day, but given current events, my thoughts went here.
We all have those days where we feel as if we're at our wits end, we're beaten down, struggling with what move to make, feeling lost in the crowd and we just want to give up or fade into the background. On the flip side of the coin we have those days when everything goes right, our energy can't be defied, nothing can bring us down, we're at our best.
We are the coin and most days, we're spinning, waiting for the coin to fall....will it be heads or tails, the one extreme or the other. Up or down, good or bad, but we know eventually the spinning stops and until we get picked up and start the twirl all over again, it's one or the other.
Now if it lands face down, where we feel like we're buried deep within the mountain of our challenges and issues, there are motivational stories and quotes, songs and sayings that lift us up. Friends that remind us that we're original, special, unique (and I am so thankful for those friends in my life). There are items, tips or things that remind us that we have many blessings instead and that after every storm there is a rainbow at the end.
Maybe if we can remember that coins are strong and solid regardless if they are shiny and new or dull and worn. They remain strong until the end and they always have worth.
So when the coin falls and it lands on tails, we are only down for as long as we choose to remain. We have to remember to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start all over again.
