day 222 of 365

We all have a mental image of the myth of Sisyphus -- a little guy pushing a big boulder up a steep hill, only to have it roll back down again (in the Bugs Bunny cartoon version, the boulder would smoosh him flat as a pancake in the process).

But like this sign implies, I think life is more of a gentle uphill climb -- some days a little steeper than others.  But other days we get a nice downhill stretch, with a beautiful view and a cool breeze.  And that makes all the difference.

I'm heading outside today, to tackle some hills.  May yours be gentle and easy.
