*Deep cleansing breath*
This past week, Life has had its way with me in a way that would surely would be considered "assault" in any legal sense of the word. I have been bogged down with my own school work, with my sons school work, with marriage stuff, with a possible illness that my son may or may not have, car issues, financial issues, and the list goes on. I've spent the last 3-4 days consumed with worry, crying, anxiety, overall stress beyond what is the norm. I've tried to maintain a calm exterior while inside I'm screaming like a crazy woman. Now I am fully aware that life gets the best of all of us at one time or another. Sure,..I get that. Sometimes I feel as though its goal is to break me. Of course, as is always the case, I triumphed! Yaaay me! The truth is, I FEEL beat. I'm exhausted, drained, full of emotions that I don't even begin to know what to do with, but I know one thing...life,...as mean, crazy, challenging as it can be at times...must go on. So...I think of all the wonderful things I have in my life: my children, my husband, my friends that make me laugh, my health...and despite it all, I'm so very grateful. I'll take whatever life brings my way and make the best of it. And some days...life will knock me down, but it won't KEEP me down. Gen. Patton said, "Now if you're going to win any battle, you have to do one thing...you have to make the mind run the body..." So for those of you hitting hard times or dealing with something less than pleasant...take heart it's all a part of the game. I suppose that's part of the excitement of life.
