Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.
Your having a bad day? You can’t take anymore? Your bills are to high? You keep saying you can’t. Every single day of my life I am faced with the effects of treatment. Yet every single day I do the best that I can. Or do I? Or do I just do the best that I am told I can, and should expect to be. In school we are taught, but we are not taught any differently today than 150 years ago. Yet the world around us has changed so much. A computer 150 years ago was a simple abacus, yet you will be reading this on some kind of reading device. People with no money go to rubbish dumps to collect plastic bottles so they can eat. Yet you hold a phone, a kindle, and I pad? You have a roof over your head and possibly even sky or a cable network and a flat screen TV. Your ok, you have food in your belly maybe even you may have some money down the back of your settee.
It’s such a shame for the fish, that it can’t climb trees. Such a shame for the Bee that can’t make it rain. We focus so much on what can’t be that we forget what can be. That only you are restricting you from any kind of success even if that’s just getting out of bed today. I am so very exhausted right now we have had illness in the house and it’s been hard work looking after myself aswell as my wife as I write this I am up and down to the toilet with a tummy bug. I feel like absolute rubbish.
But let’s go back to the fish that can’t climb a tree, it can swim, it can reproduce it can do things we can’t. Like spend its whole life under water. We can’t do that. The Bee, that makes honey that transformes us and even fights infection. I must have some honey now I mention it. Bees give us so much that we all take for granted. Even now a symbol of together for the atrocity in Manchester.
Shakira grew up in a rich family that lost everything and knows what it’s like to have nothing. All her house was cleaned out and at 8 years old she had not even a chair to sit on. Yet she used what she did have. (Her voice) her peers told her that her voice was bad, she was also rejected and produced 3 albulms before she was recognised. She vowed to do something for the poor and now runs a charity that blesses people. All because she used what she did have and did not focus on what the world would have her believe. JK Rowling had nothing when she draughted one of the worlds best selling books of all time.
You will get kicked down, that’s a fact. We all have a fight that’s also a fact. We all can look at the good in something or the bad. But living is in the getting up, and finding something good to say about someone. This post did not exsist 20 minutes ago, now it does forever. I don’t know if you needed to hear this today. But if you were encouraged today, let me know it’s great to get positive feed back. Focus on what you can do not what you can’t. After all can’t is a made up word anyway.

If I could say one thing about falling down then getting back up again is that it is a learning experience in and of itself. I teaches you how to humble yourself, how to accept the help of others, and most of it will aid in rebuilding your faith in Jesus if you just trust Him to get you through it. Something good can alway come out of the bad if we let it happen. After all, does not God use evil that is intended to harm us so we and others may prosper in the long-term?
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ~~ Jeremiah 29:11

I hope you feel better soon, nothing like the trots 🤢
OMG! Loved this post! And yes, I needed it 😧
I am in my midlife crisis and am manic to all heck. I’ve finally picked a direction to go (horticulture therapist) and now just need to take that step. Its a big step. Losing a very lucrative job, paying for a few classes and finding a job in a still unrecognized job field will be tough. It will strain my marriage and home life…. I hope I get the warm fuzzy feelings I’m after. 😍

Hey, thanks so much for your comment it means a lot to me. Bit better now to earlier when I wrote this. If I may add to your comment with a sentence. Don’t look for problems to happen in your marriage. Expect the best outcome and give it all you have. Someone once said to me. “If your the best you can be you can’t fail” I think that’s a great goal for you to set in your new quest. Expect greatness don’t be floored before you have started. Does this make sense? You WILL achieve in any field if you love it. Loving what you do is the key I think. A pay cheque is of course useful. But inner happiness is everything. 😊👍🏼

Thank you for your wisdom and strength!!
My fav bumper sticker regarding the need of at least something monetary is, “Ass, Grass or Cash. Nobody rides for free” 😉 I’d be happy with a modest salary, as I’m not a trust fund baby.
Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life, they say. As a bipolar individual, I need a new thing every 3-5 years. I’ve made peace with that. Life is not stagnant on my island! My hubby of 14 years is supportive and loyal. I think he loves me for my crazy… it drives him to unbutton his collar, also.
It’s just never easy to upset the perfectly, good apple cart.
Oddly enough, I was going to write a post this morning, very much related to this whole dealio. I plan on being honest enough within it to have to limit its visibility online, as it’s not a great thing for a prospective employer to stumble upon. Thanks for the ‘poke’, Haha! I’m on it after I hit send.
Please visit this weekend =-) Try to have a better one also!!
