Relax. Breathe. Relax.


Today I find myself being reminded how easy it is to stay positive and upbeat when times are good. It is only when things get challenging that your resolve is tested, and you can truly say that you are strong enough to stay positive. It's difficult, but I keep repeating to myself that only I can control the way I feel...I will not let my emotions dictate my mood. Relax. Breathe. Relax.

You know what else I am finding incredibly difficult at this juncture? Accepting that I can not control other peoples situations. I could expend all of my energy for countless days wishing I could control other peoples circumstances, thinking about what may or may not happen, and at the end I'd be exhausted, and back exactly where I started...completely unable to do anything.

So I'm also trying to remind myself that although I may love someone very much ALL I can do is continue to love them. Beyond that, things are simply out of my hands.

Life is challenging! Life is good!

Relax. Breathe. Relax. Breathe. You get the idea...
