"It's like nailing jello to a tree"

My dear friend was visiting recently. We were talking about life, growth, and how hard it is sometimes to "keep on track."  Growing and finding our way is a lot of work. Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to stop, rest, and re evaluate.  We need to know there is no time limit to getting where we want to go, just the expectation that we can eventually find our way.  The fact is that the journey is the most important part. Who we choose to go along and the knowledge that we have what it takes are essential.  Sometimes, though, it's just like "nailing jello to a tree!"  But, who among us doesn't have at least one creative bone in our body?!  Make a ripple, celebrate the (slippery) journey, see what happens.
