And what would life be without some ups and some downs. Without the one we won’t be able to recognise the other when that comes around. And this is true on a daily basis too. To be totally placid is well nigh impossible and I must confess that I do have my daily ups and downs and would not have it any other way.
This topic was suggested by Maria the gaelikaa, for the weekly Friday Loose Bloggers Consortium where currently nine of us write on the same topic every Friday. I hope that you enjoyed my contribution to that effort. The seven other bloggers who write regularly are, in alphabetical order, Ashok, gaelikaa, Lin, Maxi, Padmum, Pravin, Shackman and The Old Fossil. Do drop in on their blogs and see what their take is on this week’s topic. Since some of them may post late, or not at all this week, do give some allowance for that too!
The past couple of days have been up and down here, too. At the moment we’re just enjoying the cool evening after the recent rains. That’s heaven for us.

I am glad for you.
Nice musical choice. I picked a livelier rock/pop tune/ Cycles would have worked too but I’ve used it a few times. any song in the key of life would be appropriate.

There are so many but this one immediately came to mind.
oh life, funny old thing that is…never know what day is going to be all up or all down – or just everything up;/down and around
Yours is a roller coaster life alright Cathy.
Try as I may, I can never maintain the ups for very long, or stop the downs in their tracks. My mind and emotions go their own sweet way and I just have to adjust accordingly.

I don’t even try. I just float along.
Please excuse me for saying so, but at my age, I’ve had .. “more ups and downs than a whore’s drawers”…. 🙂
