Life and Its Curves

Today marks the first day of my Blog. I will be posting about my favorite subject, health, but also about the status of our new house and other events that are taking place in our life. Hope you enjoy.

Now on to my very first post. Enjoy. :-)

Do you wonder why life throws us fast balls? curves? Why aren't there ever any slow balls? SMILES...... Because we all need to learn some lessons. Don't you think?

Well, I'm starting to get back into the cheerful mode of my old-self. It sure has taken awhile. I'm still not 100% there, but I am definitely heading in the right direction. I think perhaps the reason that I let myself get down was because of all the drastic changes in our life of late (selling our house, moving, helping out with charitable events, traveling, building a new home, etc.). More than anything, I want to be in our new house but know I have to be patient, just like being on any wellness program. Things just don't happen over night and I have to keep reminding myself that I have come so far already.

With that being said, I have learned that getting beyond the difficult challenges will require persistence and diligence and the thing to do is to keep going. I have to keep looking forward. When I am not sure where to start, the thing to do is to find some action (something) that will move me forward towards my goals. Even if I start slowly, it is much better than falling further behind. When I didn't know how to continue, the thing I needed to do was to focus on the next effort or step. The more diligently I worked on my efforts/steps, the more good and valuable options I could see opening up to me and WHAAAALAAAAA, I'm starting to feel better again.

Whatever may come your way, the thing to do is to make the most of all that you have to work with and every moment will move you closer to where you want to go. So start kicking some serious butt. NOW is the time for YOU to start focusing on YOU..... You deserve to take care of yourself.... Whatever you do, don't give up. Give it all you have and feel better about yourself. And better yet, throw those curve balls right back! SMILES.
