Day 21: Breathe, Seek, Play....Lost and Found

It's Daylight Saving Time.  Tonight we jump ahead and lose an hour of sleep.  Studies have shown it can take up to a week for one to recover from losing this one hour of sleep.  I have often said that I do not like the spring forward, and fall back...I love the long days and dread the entire clock change in the fall.  I am looking forward to spring and realize that this year, I am not losing anything...not even an hour.  Tonight we watched Soul Surfer (again).  Such a beautiful movie with a powerful yet tender message....Bethany at one point is distraught and talking to her father about why did she have to lose everything.  Her fathers reply "You didn't lose everything Bethany, not even close. That shark didn’t kill you, you’re here, you’re alive, you have your family."  Sometimes you feel like you get knocked down in life and tossed like in a wave not knowing which way is up. “Life is a lot like surfing.  When you get caught in that impact zone, you need to get right back up because you never know what’s over the next wave."  You feel lost, sucked in the backwash, scrambling to get your head to the surface.  Sometimes in life, I think you have to be 'lost' in order to be found.  So tonight, when you are turning you clocks up an hour...think of all the things you've gained and what you have found in your "hour" this year!
