Another Day in Paradise

Well, what can I say,

I made it through another day.

Do you ever feel life is but a series of volcanic eruptions & torrential downpours?

Literally (physical catastrophes) & figuratively (emotional tsunamis).

Well, what can I say,

we live another day,

hoping for calm skies,

learning to splash in the mud,

& breathing a sigh of gratitude

that we make it through

another day.

You've pressed that metaphor button again, Helene. Been a downpour or here, too, 😀
