I was right.
Two extremes in my life that most of the time I find uncomfortable. I normally dread them and gripe about it all the way through.
But today I was grateful for them. Without the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate the days when things were just right. Without the extremes life would be boring.
It's being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle more. Health challenges reminds us that we need to pay more attention to how we live. Financial extremes remind us that when things are in excess it's time to tuck away for when the times are lean.
