When things don't go as planned............

When things don't go as planned..........make something up.....be prepared....just do it! This last weekend things changed for me, just silly things but, when I thought I was .....oh I don't know, well, everything changed! That's good though! I am going to handle it great! Isn't it odd when we think we have everything worked out we are doing great....then when things change we can really be thrown off, it can give you that "I don't give a damn attitude." The "I could eat everything in the house attitude" That's the way I feel right now, but it's getting better. I refuse to give in. I have come too far. I just keep talking to myself....(no, not out loud!) This two shall pass, another great quote from my Mama. Deep breathing....no, not huffing...:) helps too. Life is what it is, very unpredictable, try to be prepared......emotionally! Be ready for any change. Go with the flow! Another great idea, go for a walk, light a candle, call a friend, just stay busy! Don't turn to food! This WILL only make you feel worse! Thank you all for the great complements I have gotten on my new blog.....may my journey help maybe just one..............
