The Marathon of Life
Okay so I have to admit that I have had a very stressful and emotional week this week as you could probably tell from my last blog. On top of everything else, my toddler got the flu last night. I immediately felt like saying, “Okay God….Seriously?!?”
But I have to say that after spending a day snuggling with my tot watching Dora, putting together puzzles, and reading books….even though I do not wish for my daughter to be ill ….it was exactly what I needed. I got to take a breather from the stress of work, the stress of dealing with my ex, and the stress of running the daily marathon of life.
It is amazing how many good things come from what initially appears to be a negative downward spiral of life. I think about all of those people who have recently lost their job that might go back to school and develop skills for a much better career than they would have ever dreamed of. I think about my girlfriend who just separated from her husband and how she might learn things about herself she might not have ever found while she was still with him. Maybe they will get back together and have a much better marriage because of it … or maybe she will find someone new — someone better. The possibilities of life are endless if you just put your thoughts in the right direction.
