Life be..{insert verb}

*Deep sigh*

Some days it just all seems to be too much. Energy crisises, wars, gas prices, grocery prices and the list goes on. Not to mention your own personal life. Finding out a friend has cancer, a parent needs a full time caregiver, you lose you job. It’s enough to make you want to run away from it all, to start a new life off the grid in hopes to renew something in you-faith in humanity maybe? Faith that a better life is possible? Not sure-it’s a freeing thought at times though.

How do you take control of your life when it feels like “life” is just happening to you? In truth it turns out we only have control of ourselves. Tha't’s it. We control how to pick ourselves up if we hit rock bottom. We control if we see a therapist to confront our issues or concerns. We control if we continue to fight to believe our dreams can come true. Some days this notion provides me great comfort knowing that if I just continue to put one foot in front of the other, I can make a change in my life and hopefully the lives of others. Other days, I could care less about someone else including my own existence.

And that’s just it. Everyday is not going to be a great one. There will be hard, tuff and miserable seasons. I guess it’s how you choose to approach them is what will inevitably make a difference. I heard someone say once “We all have the same 24 hours.” And, whoever said that was right. Our 24 hours may not look the same but how we choose to spend them will make all the difference.

Love you loves-
