Day 112: Taking Things as They Come

Being completely honest, the last couple of weeks have been a bit rough for me. I'd say ever since my ankle injury things have been more on the "rough side" which is really why I started this blog. And while I have really re-evaluated my thinking and been focusing on positive things, it doesn't mean all of those other things have gone away.  Occasionally they will try to dominate my thinking, but I know that with the right mindset I can allow contentment to be the undertone.

In all of these feelings, I've been able to take some time to re-evaluate (surprise) and rethink my approach in life to taking things in stride. It's easy to develop an idealistic view of the course of life but it's so rare that the ideal scenario actually plays out. So I think I've been better off just taking things one day at a time - one moment at time - and not really expecting much. Not to be confused with not having hopes or dreams, but just being willing to accept - and not accepting things as they are, but accepting things that cannot be changed (ie. the past).

So with each obstacle that I happen upon, I know I will get through it. And I know it is just another learning opportunity to add to the enrichment in my life.
