This morning I was reflecting on the word "preparation".  We prepare food, prepare to go to work, prepare to go to college and a multitude of other things.  I began to think about our ability to prepare for our own lives.  We did not get a manual or a handbook on what was to come our way as adults.  Life does its own version of preparation for us whether we realize it or not.  Our trials and tribulations become the foundation for how we proceed through other similar times in our lives.  When good or great things happen to us, we rejoice in the moments that arrive with those blessings. We bask and meditate on the hard work that may have brought us to a platform of victory.  Because we continue to learn new things almost daily, our preparation is ongoing.  As adults we become better at sharing our tips of how to get through circumstances with others.  Realizing that none of us have the final answers to everything that will come before us, will enable us to keep preparing for great things and don't forget to share your insights with those that need it.
