Hey, Peggy!! I grew up in Northern Washington State and thought the winters there were terrible. Then, I took a trip to Alaska with the perma-frost and found that my upbringing differed. Now in California, we have challenges just fixing the roads. In the same way, we like to compare our personal growth with others, however, it all depends on one’s circumstances and what we are judging ourselves on. Each of us is on our own journey. Like the roads we are on, we are obligated to manage our own maintenance. Keep up the excellent work!

It’s interesting to hear about your experience with long, harsh winters and the impact they have on road maintenance. It’s true that if you don’t take care of something, it will likely deteriorate over time.
I also appreciate the analogy you made between road maintenance and personal growth. It’s never too late to work on ourselves and make improvements, even if we’ve been neglecting it for a while. Just like a road can be repaired and made smoother, we too can take the necessary steps to become better versions of ourselves. Keep up the good work!

I love this Peggy. Being from Alberta, I can totally relate to the seasons of winter and construction. But I hadn’t thought about it the same way as you. Luckily our own season of ‘construction and improvement’ is not limited by the seasons. Good for you!

There is always so much that comes to mind when we talk about “seasonal”, but the idea of road maintenance and paving our own way forward, well, I just love it!!
