A single season never explains the entire landscape.

REFLECTION
See a place only in February and you would swear nothing lives there. See it only in June and you would think it never struggles. Any single season is a true observation and a false summary, and the same is true of any single stretch of a life.
Be careful about conclusions drawn from a hard period. What you are seeing is real and it is one frame. Give the question more time before you decide what the whole landscape is like.
Which hard year are you letting stand for your whole story?
