Life Can Change In An Instant

Everyday we wake up and go through the same routine. Never thinking about how today could be the day that your life will change whether it's a good or bad change. We take for granted that things will always be what they are. You ride along the wave of life never thinking that you will lose your balance and completely fall off. Remember what Forrest Gump said.

Then that day comes. You feel like you've been punched in the stomach and thinking you never saw it coming. How did I miss this one? That's the way life is. It can't be what we perceive as perfect all the time. We have curve balls. Whatever life throws at you, never make decisions when feeling angry or really happy. Sit back, be patient and the answers will come when they are ready to appear.

How you decide to handle life's ups and downs is up to you and only you.

Jackie, so true. I feel that far too often we expect life to be on the upside every day. It isn't...

Jackie....it takes courage to work through change....it's not easy and when it comes unexpectedly it's ten times more difficult....we all assume life will go on at a steady pace, but when we least expect it, a drastic change occurs.....

Hi Michael, No it isn't Michael. I sometimes guilty of that.

Hi Barbara, It's always when we least expect it isn't it? :)

Jackie, some how, some way, we make it to the next day. We build our lives on what has happened to us whether negative or positive, and hope we can pass the positives onto those that we created of the next generation.

Hi Don, You made a perfect point! That is what I try to instill in my son. Forget the small things and deal with the larger issues head on.

Jackie: Can't figure out if comment #6 is spam or not. I'm thinking it is. In life we have to take the good with the bad. No one ever complains about a good change...like winning the lottery, or getting the million dollar listing. It's the really bad ones that we consider change. It's all part of life. Roll with it and you will always come out on the other side of those dark moments.

Hi Chris Ann, #6 was spam and I got rid of it :) Yeah? If I won the lottery you would know it because I would show up at your door in a limo with my pockets and shirt stuffed with money, lol.
