Driving home from a hike last night (see the picture! I made it!), my radio hit the slow rock station and given my exhausted mood, I decided to take in a little bit of the Delilah show (I gave up on regularly listening to this show a few years back when I was pregnant with Hunter because it made me cry too much! ha ha). I think some one up above made me turn the radio station at that exact moment because no sooner had I turned on the show, Delilah began talking about the trials and triumphs in her own life from being fired to living in poverty to divorce and being a single mom. After talking about all these hard periods of her life she finished with some uplifting words. She said (I'm paraphrasing here) that when you are facing tough times, treat them as an adventure, find the joy in them because it is easier to move forward when you are looking forward than looking back with regrets. HOW TRUE!
Listening to her talk, I had one of those AHA! moments (with respects to Mutual of Omaha). As tired as I was from a grueling active day, I vowed to myself to post to my blog more often to write about the things I am seeing and hearing, and to find the positive in each situation. I have always struggled with this blog because I had never given it much of a focus. Now I am finally giving it one.
