Bring in the blues

Sometimes life gives you something good. You are all excited, jumping for joy. You feel you could capture the dragonfly. You could conquer the mountains and catch the ocean waves. You could run an marathon and still would be able to breath easily. You know you do things well, you succeed in whatever you do, you have a mighty self confidence and your hair is looking nice. All things are going well.

Then the rainy day comes and brings along the blues. I've been floating with sadness again after a long time. It is insidious. I'm not very sure where did it come from. Did I just made that up? Did something go wrong? Did I forget something..? I cannot find any good reason. Or at least I'm not sure about the reason. All the suddenly life is annoyingly unpleasant and I would love to escape somewhere far away.

But I'm sure everything has it's time. I know it will pass. I am actually quite happy about this season. It really does give me a chance to grow up a little bit. When I mess up with my friends, my work duties, myself and my relationship with God I get to see the life from just a little bit different angle. These times gives perspective to my life.

All the difficult times have been - really - a blessing (Oh what a cliche). And I've had those a lot. I cannot say that I was happy then. I would be lying. I cannot say it was easy. Cause it wasn't. I can't deny the fact I was exhausted and wanted to just flee from all the situations. But. I've had a chance to see life from very different aspects. I've got to experience something that someone else hasn't. Life has been rich. And that is something to be grateful for.

I love this Switchfoot's song. It reminds me of something that is often forgotten when life is.. well dull. 

And again, something from the great big book that also reminds me of the passing seasons. I've followed my life in the light of this text and found almost all of these episodes coming and going. And so they will even this day forward. 

Ecclesiastes 3 

1 To everything there is a season,A time for every purpose under heaven:

² A time to be born,
    And a time to die;
A time to plant,
    And a time to pluck what is planted;
³ A time to kill,
    And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
    And a time to build up;
⁴ A time to weep,
    And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
    And a time to dance;
⁵ A time to cast away stones,
    And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
    And a time to refrain from embracing;
⁶ A time to gain,
    And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
    And a time to throw away;
⁷ A time to tear,
    And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
    And a time to speak;
⁸ A time to love,
    And a time to hate;
A time of war,
    And a time of peace.

Ah btw this chapter is worth to read on too! 
Aaand wanted to put it also in Finnish here. Love it in my own language! <3

Saarnaaja 3  

1 Kaikella on määrähetkensä,
aikansa joka asialla taivaan alla.
2 Aika on syntyä
ja aika kuolla,
aika on istuttaa
ja aika repiä maasta,
3 aika surmata
ja aika parantaa,
aika on purkaa
ja aika rakentaa,
4 aika itkeä
ja aika nauraa,
aika on valittaa
ja aika tanssia,
5 aika heitellä kiviä
ja aika ne kerätä,
aika on syleillä
ja aika olla erossa,
6 aika etsiä
ja aika kadottaa,
aika on säilyttää
ja aika viskata menemään,
7 aika repäistä rikki
ja aika ommella yhteen,
aika olla vaiti
ja aika puhua,8 aika rakastaa ja aika vihata, 
aika on sodalla ja aikansa rauhalla.
