@kittengirl,

Have a great morning. Please know you and your family are still in my prayers.
I mean that. 🙂 Have a great day in Cali.

Hard Days

A hard day can sometimes be a great teacher if we stop for reflection.

We all have days that seem endlessly difficult and hard. On these days, it is as if the odds are stacked against us and we just can’t get a break as one challenging situation follows another. We may feel like we’re standing in the ocean getting hit by wave after wave, never able to get a full breath. Sometimes it’s necessary or worth it to stay in the fray and work our way through. Other times, the best idea is to go home and take the breath we need in order to carry on.

If the only choice is to get through it, a hard day can be a great teacher. It will eventually end and we can look back on it, taking pride in the stamina, courage, and ingenuity it took to hold our ground. We may also look back and see how we could have done things differently. This knowledge will be valuable when we face hard days in the future. Trust your gut as you’re deciding whether to work through it, and know that sometimes a timely retreat is the best way to ensure a positive outcome. Getting space can remind us that external circumstances are not the whole picture. Once we catch our breath and re-center ourselves, we will be able to determine our next move. With a little perspective, we may even find the inner resources to change our attitude about what’s happening. We may begin to see that what we saw as hardships are actually opportunities. As our attitude changes for the better, our actions and the circumstances will follow suit.

Sometimes all that’s needed is a good night’s sleep. No one is immune to having a hard day and these are usually the times we can learn the most. If we can find it in our hearts to examine the day, and maybe make one small change in perception, we can ease our pain and greet the next day that much wiser.

Cherie Good Morning,
Tis the season for eating. LOL! My hubby can peel and chop like nobody’s business.
I told him if he peel and chop I will cook it. I always make home fries whenever we
have a taste for it. No one can make fries like homemade fries. I watched my mom
make them when I was growing up trust me it was a treat. ♥ Cherie you have a great hubby.
My time will come when the BBQ King goes to work. 🙂

Thank you I am glad you like and read my posts Cherie I do this all in my head I have no clue
what I will do until my fingers hit the keyboard. I just go with whatever I feel for that day.
Today I am feeling these…thanks to you. 🙂

Cherie you only live once and after I am done with the fries I go for a brisk walk. 🙂

@loaf,

Together, Wherever We Go
Ethel Merman

Wherever we go, whatever we do
We’re gonna go through it together
We may not go far, but sure as a star
Wherever we are, it’s together
Wherever I go, I know he goes
Wherever I go, I know she goes
No fits, no fights, no feuds and no egos
Amigos, together!
Through thick and through thin, all out or all in
And whether it’s win, place or show
With you for me and me for you
We’ll muddle through whatever we do
Together, wherever we go
Wherever we go, whatever we do
We’re gonna go through it together
Wherever we sleep, if prices are steep
We’ll always sleep cheaper together
Whatever the boat I row, you row, a duo
Whatever the row I hoe, you hoe, a trio
And any I. O. U., I owe you, oh’s?
Who, me-oh? No, you-oh
No, we-oh, together!
We all take the bow, including the cow
Though business is lousy and slow
With Herbie’s vim, Louise’s verve
Now all we need is someone with nerve
Together, together, wherever, wherever
Together, wherever, together, wherever we go
We go in a group, we tour in a troupe
We land in the soup, but we know
The things we do, we do by threes, a perfect team
No, this way, Louise!
Together, together, wherever, wherever
Together, wherever we go!

Eye of the Tiger. ♥
