First Aid Station

No matter how careful we are or how cautious we try to be, we do get hurt. 

We are human flesh, bones, and emotions. This is a place for healing. 

Sure, we can park ourselves on a bench and do very little to lessen our chances for pain. 

But, in this choice, we ultimately hurt ourselves. Life is meant to be lived.

 We are born for adventure! It is our nature to explore, to delve into the unknown, to play! 

Better to endure a bruise or two while you are out there having fun than to sit stagnantly. 

In life, you risk when you take a chance and fail. You risk falling in love and getting your heart broken.

 You risk being yourself and facing rejection. Yet, far more tragic is not risking at all. 

With life comes painful lessons, but healing and growth do follow.  

Take care of yourself. Be safe. Be smart.  Know when to take a time out to mend, and then get back out there! 

These are all necessary parts to living life to its fullest!  (S. Finelli)
