Life such a wild ride…
On Thursday of last week (today is Monday) I commented on my
facebook how happy I was and how lucky I was to feel so happy…
By Friday I was in tears…over what….isn’t the concern
By Sunday three significant uncontrollable things came my
way that caused more sadness and anger…How can one be so happy one day and crying like a baby the next…
It is this thing called LIFE
As I reflect back on a rocky weekend I am reminded of life’s
ups and downs
I am reminded of how difficult some days can be and how
wonderful some days can be
Did I face the weekend’s rockiness with dignity and respect
Not all of it…I am only human…I cried, cussed, vented and prayed….maybe not in that order
Then I got myself back….
I remembered that I am still happy, still grateful and still
lovedI remembered I am still blessed
I remembered that my life is so wonderful
I decided not to allow the events that happened over the weekend to dismiss all the joy I
felt four days ago
In the end I have come to one conclusion Life is not about controlling the events that come your way….because they will come your way….life is about controlling yourself as you handle each of these events…
So with one deep breath, one last cuss word, one last vent…I am putting the weekend behind me and grabbing back my optimism and happy outlook on life…I am recognizing how grateful I am to have all I have…I am loving all those who love me and am choosing to let the rest go…
