The carousel of life cycles through many stages hopefully surrounded by family, friends, culture, and an environment shaping your life forever.
Along the way you develop desires, want’s and love’s, influenced by what you see and experience during your formative years. Sometimes, setting in place goals and expectations for the rest of your life.
But, life’s carousel of marriage, children, death, divorce, new relationships, empty nesting, and retirement are all pivotal moments in your life to cause reflection of your past, current, and future.
However, slowing or taking a break from the carousel allows moments of meditative thoughts and reflections to reassess, accomplishments, dreams, and hope for a brighter future on the carousel of life.
