Every single human being is experiencing or has experienced an Earth Shattering, dream killing, soul wrenching, heart-breaking event. Know and embrace that you are not alone.

Everyone goes through a hard time, some harder than others, everyone struggles with understanding emotions, saying the right thing at the right time....our country has become used to instant gratification, perfect images of perfect people on entertainment and sports media... but these are not real only projected/created images. Be sure to take time for yourself (meditate, pray or just sit still), be patient with yourself and be kind and forgiving to yourself. What do you do when you are going through a hard time?

I remind myself of the challenges I've overcome before and have faith that I can continue to do the same going forward. I also know that I don't know God's plans, so like the song "unanswered prayers" I leave what I cannot control in God's hands and have faith that something better will come of it.

I don't know what I'd do without faith in a higher power. Without that, I doubt I would have made it this far.

Take a breath. Turn to my life's partner for her succor and support. Try to remember the Biblical sentiment, "This, too, will pass." Learn from the experience. Remember the "world is not as it seems" and be thankful there is a loving God. Thanks for asking at this time because, most certainly, these are troubling times with more of the same (or worse) in our future. Emotional preparedness is important.

I remind myself that everything that is happening will end, nothing is forever and then I just throw another plate on the bar and lift harder! I use my hour at the gym every morning to get that nonsense out of my head and take on each day as new. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and I will not waste today, worrying about a potential tomorrow...
