Why Climb Mountains at All?

As my former teen idol Miley Cyrus once said, "life's a climb but the view's great!" As cheesy as it is, there's a lot of truth to the statement. Now not all of us will be climbing literal mountains, but reading a story about doing so can reach each of us in an individual way. I'll use my blog to vent for a hot sec, that's what a lot of bloggers do, don't they? Life is a series of mountains. Sometimes you're at the peak, and other times you're stuck on the bottom. Some days even feel like a journey up and down a mountain. Like this one for instance. I feel like I've been wearing a "kick me" sign for the past twelve hours. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong, I've had a real Murphy's Plan kind of day. But in the greater scheme of things, it's just a few steps down the mountain. I know tomorrow and the next day and the day after that I'll start climbing up again and get to the top and realize how trivial it all was. Excuse my sappy rant...but it's all about the cliiiiiiiiiimb.
