An outstanding analogy Sissy. Depending on another can be as fickle as a wave breaking, or as unstable and prone to breakage as a surfboard. Exceptional write ...

All great surfers get knocked in the water sometimes.
It's apart of conquering the waves of life.

A optimist opens the oyster expecting to find a pearl.
A pesimist throw the unopen oyster because it isn't a pearl there.
If we consider pain or stress as our life's oyster, we should find a pearl inside.

Tinka,
The waves of life vary, and while some can be ridden with the proper perspective, others catch you at your weakest moment. Well written, as always.

We all have a lot in common and pain is one of them. We condition pain differently too and, sadly, there are those who pain takes to bed and it kills them. Sweetdreams Tink and may the next great wave a;;ow you to conquere your pain.
