For those days when life weighs you down

The WordPress Photo Challenge Task: This week, share a photo of something marked by its weight — or its air of weightlessness. Show us gravity at its most unforgiving, or most generous. Bricks or feathers. A collapsed ruin or a plane taking off. A heavy piece of old furniture or the flying buttresses of a cathedral. Keep in mind that weight doesn’t even have to be physical: emotions and memories can weigh on us (or lift our spirits) at least as much as real objects.

My Take: Living in a Caribbean island I immediately thought of swimming in our endless blue clear sea as being the ultimate example of weightlessness but then I thought about my life, especially on those days when I am weighed down by decisions and deadlines and drama. Why? Because those days are hard. That’s when I want to give up, to curl up in bed under the covers and let the world go by without me but on the other hand, that’s exactly the time when the prayers, worship and fellowship at my church lift me ‘weightlessly’ up to an amazing place high above whatever’s going on – and for me at the end of the day, it truly is the best place to be.

Can you relate? What lifts you up when you feel most down and out? Would love to hear from you and thanks for visiting 🙂
