One Mighty Punch!

One Mighty Punch!
by Latina
05-Feb-2010
 

Life has always had its ups and downs. Just when you think that you are getting ahead... POW! Life decides to give you a good punch that takes the air right out of you.  For some, the recovery is immediate. Others may take a little longer depending on the severity of the punch.

Of course, you realize that I am referring to things as divorce, illness, death, and other tragic events in life. Like they say when it "rains it pours." However, we don't have to let it take us down for long. I truly believe that attitude plays a major part in how quickly we can recover. Having a supportive family, friends and colleagues also helps greatly.

I can not begin to express how happy, I am to just simply be alive. In the next couple of days or maybe weeks, I  will have several  challenges to face. I intend to face them straight on. I will not forget to take time to rest and reflect. My excellent sense of humor will come in very handy too.

I do wish that I had slowed down sooner without having to endure such pain. Oh well! You live and learn. Some how, I will need to balance my life so that this does not occur again. The last time it happened was five years ago, so I must be given credit for doing so well thus far.

I promise to be true to myself... take better care of myself... to be the very best that I can be.

Hi Natalia,

     The Reba McIntire music video is super clear, the lady is tough! I saved Jordin Sparks song, the lyrics is great! I also like Jordin Sparks' "Tattoo" and "No Air"......I did not watch Superbowl at all....I am glad that your team won......I am a big fan of American Idol.......This music video is tragically beautiful, it makes me super happy....I don't know why... I have watched the video over 30 times! Wow! You have survived several hurricanes, you must be tough! I have survived several earthquakes in CA literally! :O)

A simple solution as one fits all for the challenges that life throws at you. When one get lost in the frontline of the battlefield, she should slow down, keep her head up and reflect on her heart. No friend and family can realize the depth of pain you are going through.

However, being courteous with others and keeping sense of humor is a reflection of heart matters.

Wish you luck to come out safe and sound as always!
