In Jeannette Maw’s recent blog post, she talks about her recent battle with “the scaries” - the gremlins we all face from time to time.

Most of us wouldn’t have the courage to publicly talk about it, and that’s what sets Jeanette apart.

I have total respect for Jeannette, and so I’m following suit. I just posted a blog post about all of the stuff going wrong (the stuff I can even talk about) in the past week.

I know the sun will come out tomorrow.

I also know you’re now humming that song, thanks to me.

I also know you’ll hum it all day and probably curse me for putting it in your head.

Hopefully you won’t hold it against me!

Seriously, though, things always get better.

It really never is as bad as it seems.

This too shall pass is great advice.

At the time you are going through stuff, it’s the last thing you want to hear, though…

I’m with ya.

I sometimes feel like ripping out the hair of anyone who tells me how good I have it.

Hey, I’m human.

And so are you.

You have the right to wallow at times.

But the main thing is to get over it so you don’t keep creating more of the same for you.

Man, I sometimes need to listen to myself! I’d have it much easier if I did.

It is easy to get all wrapped up in our day to day drama and your mind goes wild, looking at the worst case scenario.

Hey, it just happened to me this morning!

Fortunately, I’m learning to recognize it where before I let myself be pulled in.

I could have been pulled into the abyss, however I find it much easier to let some things go that I may have put my dukes up on before.

I’m learning to choose my battles.

I sometimes choose the difficult ones.

I sometimes realize I thought I was equipped to handle an especially trying battle.

But in the end, I always chose correctly.

Perseverance is a good thing.

The tough lessons are sometimes the most rewarding ones - and most of the time they’re just what we needed to learn.

So, I write.

And live.

And learn.

I find that sometimes I learn the most by the words that come through me when I sit at my keyboard.

Some of it’s crap.

Some of it’s good.

But it’s ok because it’s MINE.

And guess what?

The sun will come out tomorrow… (and you thought you were going to get it outta your head…….)
