U for Uphill

We are often faced with an uphill climb - at work, home, or life in general. That climb is going to be hard; it's going to be tough; you may run out of breath at times; the path is steep and rocky.

You might want to rest for a bit but don't give up. You are nearly there.

And when you reach the summit, that exhilaration will make it all worth it.  As the wind caresses your face and glides through your body, the pain vanishes and all that's left is that supreme sense of calm.

Remember - there's a hand to hold and a voice to guide. I know you are there beside me taking me through all of the troubled times; a simple hug makes all the difference. I know you've held my hand when the going got tough; I mouth a silent prayer for all those moments that you've been there with me and for those that you'd be in the years to come. Thank you for making the uphill climb interesting and relatively easy.
