Well I digress, life is good but along with cupcakes there are pitfalls. Numerous pitfalls: and learning to brave the storm is half the battle. I am learning THIS more and more everyday, in trying to teach my son to look for the positive. He was blessed with my pessimistic attitude. Whether I got it from genetics or I learned that role, it is mine to carry! And now to see him with that same characteristic; I work harder to overcome it. It is so hard when the part you dislike about your child came from you and also describes you. I think that people who are upbeat 100% of the time are full of shit! Forgive me but I am just being honest. Society dictates that we should all be happy every second of the day but some of us are just not geared that way. That same philosophy also encourages people to hide the part of their lives that is not happy, positive and wonderful. Life is not perfect...keeping up with the Smyth's is a full time job, who has time for it? Not me.
Back to the pitfalls, I am learning that there are bumps in the road and dealing with them is part of having faith. Faith that something bigger than you is in control and has a road map for your life is very a comforting feeling.
Please say a prayer for J, he is on bed rest because the pad between 2 of his discs in his back has deteriorated. Basically 2 vertebrate are cutting into his nerve. I just hope his pain can be relieved and he can get back on his feet soon. This is our current pitfall and I just pray all will be alright.
