I've hiked up enough hills to appreciate the need for encouragement sometimes. It's not an image, but I also like the hiker's prayer, "Oh, Lord, if you can pick them up, I can put them down." It helps a lot when my legs get tired. :)   bikehikebabe,

Not easy for me. As for metaphors, one is if somebody is annoying, I imagine them being sucked up into the sky & disappearing into space. If I were centered I wouldn't need that image. At the end of an uphill hike I imagine closing a giant zipper. At the end the zipper will be closed. (???) I SO MUCH WANT TO BE STRESS HARDY, RESILIENT & CENTERED. Not easy for me.
