Some days are just like that...

The past 24 hours have been a little stressfull with "situations" coming up that I must deal with in respect to my mother (who I'm legal guardian for), my landscaping business, taxes and clients. Found myself unable to sleep for most of last night and spent lots of time tossing, turning and trying to figure out what I needed to get done first when my feet hit the floor this morning. About 3am I decided to pick up my trusty Blackberry and see what was happening in Facebook world, not expecting to see much. Came across a few posts from an acquaintance that seemed a little odd so I took a closer look and learned that he had recently been diagnosed with some form of Lymphoma and it was Stage 4, not good. Spent quite a bit of time thinking about it and what he and his family must be going through right now...his wife, his kids, and new baby. How someone about my same age can be diagnosed with something like that and how their world must be turned completely upside down!

Now I've had my life turned upside down many times over the years and I know I can handle whatever is thrown at me. I'm a survivor and I never let anything put out my fire...at least not for very long. Although I was very stressed last night at 3am I counted my blessings that at least for now, I am not in his shoes and knew I needed to just press forward as usual when my feet hit the floor this morning. Yep, some days are just like thats but there's always something or something else out there that is much worse than what we're going through. So I counted my blessings!
