As I was reading your post, I realized that life is challenging for us because without all the ups and downs and obstacles, we could never have that "aha" moment of total euphoria and bliss without our past experiences and long journey. We would have no means of gauging the wonderful moment without the other times. If everything was easy the "aha" moment would be another day.
When you wrote that moment of total joy of the present and future, I thought of you when you were younger and going through some challenging times. Would you have believed it then how your life would become this amazing ride of joy, awesome new adventures, exciting people like yourself and a team of gifted and dedicated members who want a better future?
You've reached another milestone in your amazing life that I know you appreciate very much. Experience this wonderful feeling of optimism and love. Remember the feel and absorb every moment so that you can share the pure feelings of love, happiness, hope and gratitude through your writings, poems and stories. I am very happy for you and the team. It shows everyone that by working together, any thing is possible! Take care! .....Cabbagepatch :D
You are so spot on with your assessment of the lessons learned through struggle leading to bliss, @cabbagepatch. I've come to view "the downs" as where there is a kernel of something still to learn for me. By the same token I try to enjoy "the ups" as reward for learning the lesson's life tries to teach.
We have such high hopes for this project, deep down inside it feels as though the series is destined to be made and if it wasn't our team it would be another one.
