“In good times and bad, it’s wisdom to know that neither lasts forever.”
-Vincent H. O'Neil
It’s peak summer event season in Milwaukee. Summerfest, the World’s Largest Music Festival, begins this weekend. Everywhere you turn there’s another market, festival, another show, another reason to be outside with people you care about. It’s one of the things that makes this place so special.
But all of it ends. The concert wraps, the lights go down, the street gets quiet again. The good times always close out, which is exactly why we have to notice them, remember them, and actually let ourselves enjoy them while they’re here.
The same is true on the other side. If you’re in a hard stretch right now, it won’t last forever either. It might not resolve the way you pictured, but it will move, it will change, and you will find your way through it.
So, soak up the good times, pause and breathe through the bad times, and keep going either way. Summer’s here, the sun’s out, ☀️ life’s in session. Happy Monday.
