We get on with our lives. We develop little fillers, supports or mechanisms to make it through the day. Some days are easier than others, some we barely have the strength for as we take to bed earlier than usual. This is the modern world. This is the way. To live our lives to the full.
Is life not meant to be a struggle? Do not the plants and animals fight daily for their survival? Where does it end? I know it well, this way is very familiar. It is well trodden and my footsteps are deep imprints on the earth.
What I have learned is not to be too serious about it and to enjoy the love of others when you can. Each day becomes a week, which becomes a month and then a year. Soon you notice your world has changed and you don't know where it went. This is the modern way. We live our lives at full speed in order that we can slow down one day and begin to enjoy it. So we give away our most vital years to have enjoyment when we are less able.

True words! We haven't learnt to slow down yet, too many "challenges". Life is a struggle and it wasn't meant to be easy. So make the most of each day and enjoy it. We try to!
