The yellow Bicycle: A yellow bicycle stood propped against a red brick building chained and yet almost looking abandoned.

Its brightness brought my attention at first then it being chained against the wall second. Nothing out of the ordinary yet my attention was stirred. Was it abandoned or merely being kept safe?

Life can leave us questioning ourselves at times. We can feel secure one minute and then left with a feeling of abandonment the next without really knowing why and how to cope with it all.
***
Our own individual actions can create moments of insecurity but that is just the cycle of life. Turning these feelings around is the step we need to take not to allow ourselves to feel chained to a situation.
***
We have to realise we can just as easily act in one way just as we can another. I have always said to friends that there is nothing wrong from making mistakes just as long as we learn from them. There is in turn nothing wrong in feeling abandoned for that is a gut reaction to some unwanted situations. It is realising why we feel abandonment and how we can resolve this that matters the most.
*The Yellow Bicycle*
Life is not easy and of course no one ever said it was. Life is a journey full of trials and tribulations just as much as it can be filled with joy and jubilations . We just have to roll with the bad times as much as the good and understand when we have a dip that is all it really is. There is after all no reason why we cannot once again find ourselves at the top of a peak once more.

The easy way to this is to share our thoughts and feelings and not allow negativity to envelop us. Most conversations in life are free flowing and usually because others we might speak to have also experienced very similar situations . Learning that we are not the only ones to experience such a situation can help immensely as it can remove the only me feeling from thought process. It means we can also understand how others have resolved their own issues. They in turn will learn from us also and see how we acted to make our situation better also along the way.

Life can be like a cryptic crosswords confusing one moment and crystal clear the next for once the penny drops and we understand how to unravel the clues to any situation we are no longer puzzled and confused.

A yellow bicycle propped against a red bricked wall to me it is safe and waiting to go another journey along the path we call life.
