Escalator



When I saw this photo  I just couldn't resist it.




I  had to read a few hours today to finish the book for book club tonight.  I really enjoyed the book.  It was light and even though the idea of a ghost being one of the main characters didn't thrill me at first, it was entertaining.  It was called  Twenties Girl  by Sophie Kinsella. 

Though there were lots of messages within the covers, I picked one to write just a sentence or two about.  At first, the main character,  Lara's life isn't too great.  She has relationship troubles;  career troubles; and lots of family troubles.  Her father gives her some advice.  He says,  (paraphrasing)  "Life is an escalator.  It keeps moving whether you want it to or not.  Make the best of it."

What a great visual.  When you see an escalator,  some people are standing still.  Some people are walking even though it's already moving.  Some people even think they can beat it and  try to see if they can go the wrong  way on it. 

There are a million conclusions to draw and analyses of every person you know.  All I will say is that when I  picture my escalator in my head it's an "UP".
