“I have good days and bad days and going half-mad days.” Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers
I hit a wall yesterday.
No, not with my hand (Lord knows I don’t need any more hand problems). I mean I hit a figurative wall. Just everything from the last few months caught up with me. It was like I was trying to run through molasses and failing miserably.
You know the feeling. I read your Facebook posts. We all have our challenges. The last six months have kicked my butt. I feel like Rocky after the first fight with Mr. T.
I’ve been juggling chainsaws and dropping them. If you’ve been cut, I apologize. I’ll do better.
But what it has done is teach me what and who are truly important. Thank goodness for my wife of 21 years. I’m married to a rock. Amy’s solid when I need her the most. My boys are amazing and make me want to be a better man. I won the sister lottery. I’ve seen them do the right thing time and time again. Like I told my aunt last night, we have a special family when we’re not grumpy.
Challenges are like a rock and a boat. When you hit one, you either sink or you get shoved in a better direction. I feel like I’ve been shoved in a better direction.
So, all I say is this, it’s all good. I’m a blessed man and I know it.
Now, I need to get to work.
