Life Lessons


Life is either a daring adventure or nothing- Helen Keller

I am learning more and more everyday that you literally have no control over life. I am a hard headed girl always thinking that I can control EVERYTHING. Since giving birth in 2008 I have had the hardest struggle relinquishing that control. At best my life is indeed an adventure.
Today I was upset. Upset that one of our cars is out of commission once again. Upset that even though I made it to the cardiologist, I had to take Scout with me. Upset because once again I feel like Nick's job doesn't care about family and the needs that comes along with that sometimes.

I was sitting in the doctor's office waiting with my girl and she is being perfect. She is being adorable and everyone is loving her as usual. She did great.
I got there in one piece, my child was an angel and I just let things be. I didn't have a choice. I didn't have control today and we had an adventure, and honestly it would have been soooo boring otherwise!!!

This was my post for yesterday. I still want to share it. I was smack in the middle of writing this when I got some life shattering news. I will post a second blog tonight. I just didn't want this one to slide through the cracks.

i think we do have control over our lives. if you think about it, about 90% of what happens to us is a direct result of a decision we made.
