Riding Out the Storm
Ever have one of those days when everything seems to be coming at you, trying to knock you down, making it impossible to breathe?
I’m having one today.
I keep telling myself not to react. Not to be provoked. Not to listen.
But it’s not working very well today.
I have some tough decisions to make soon.
Decisions I’ve been putting off for a very long time.
I try to convince myself that I just need to ride out the storm, so to speak. For me, that conjures up images of a boat on a rocky sea.
And it’s easier to know what to do if you know when the storm will be over. When you can see the sun shining bright again and it’s all calm seas ahead, at least for a little while.
I tell myself to hang on a little longer, but I’m finding that harder and harder to do.
Anybody got a life preserver they can share?

Hang in there! 🙂 In the meantime, here’s a funny video to watch to help cheer you up…I literally couldn’t watch this in the office because I had to laugh out loud http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5jw3T3Jy70&feature=share

Oh my gosh! I thought the home video part was so funny and almost stopped watching…until I saw Ellen’s prank. That was PRICELESS! THANK YOU! My personal FB page is getting lots of fun links, too… I’ll try to find you to befriend you so you can see the fun links. 🙂 Thank you for caring enough to send this.

Des……am having one of those days myself, but for different reasons! Somehow, you put those feelings into perfect words! I’m throwing you a virual life preserver, but in the meantime, maybe my “mantra” will help you. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…..
Hang in there!

Thanks Sue…today, I need to float. Maybe tomorrow I can swim again.
