Sometimes it may seem like life is headed in the right direction. You have a goal in mind, you've identified the steps for achieving it, and you're working towards that goal conscientiously. We can see the end. However, there may be times when the dots just don't seem to be connecting the way we'd hope. We loose confidence, we loose motivation, we feel busted....
This was me last week....
After a good "oh woe is me" pity party I had for myself this weekend, I opened my journal this morning to find this quote,
"...life is like fording a river, stepping from one slippery stone to another, and you must rejoice every time you don't lose your balance, and learn to laugh at all the times you do."
-Merle Shain, 20th-century Canadian writer
So, today, I've decided to end my "pity party" and laugh at myself instead, only hoping that there are others laughing at themselves as well. A guess learning to see it this way is part of living by design-harder but worth every second!!!
Have a great week!!

I purposely try to not let myself get down even when something "unhappy" is happening to me. But, every once in a while, I just allow myself a pity party. I tell myself that I'm allowed to feel sorry for myself until the end of the day, but I have to pick myself back up the next day and no more tears! Hang in there, Kelli!
