When Life Throws Us Curveballs!

What do you do when life throws you a curveball? Do you run in the house and hide under the covers, or do you stand up and say, "keep it comin'!"

This is a hard question. Every situation warrants a different response. There are many instances where we can say, I have no control over this and trust that because you always do the next right thing in life, that the right thing will happen for you. But, what do you do when Murphy's Law applies? And what do we do about the things we can control?

How willing are you to make the changes in your life that are imperative to survival at the time? Can comfortablility be a factor? Would you rather use the credit cards than have basic cable? Would you rather dip into that very little savings account so the family can go to the movies, knowing full well that you'll end up in the negative? I mention financial issues because these are the issues that can make or break us emotionally, relationship wise, etc.

These are the issues we can control!

Take stock of how willing you are to make changes today. Look honestly at yourself when you need to make a change that will make you uncomfortable. Pay attention to all of the little excuses that pop into your head as to why I just cannot do that.

Today is a short one. We attended my little neices birthday party on Saturday. My brother was not there in body but he was there in spirit. We all miss him but I know he was there.

And always remember, we are in this together!
