Curveball

You know, sometimes life really throws you a curveball.

When you think you’ve got a handle on things, that you’ve got “it” all figured out … that’s when you get hit. Sometimes it’s good, but most of the time it’s “not.”

I say “not” because even the discouraging things that happen in life really do happen for a reason. They often teach us a more valuable lesson than the positives. Character is only gained through adversity, and stuff like that.

Yeah, we (my family and I) got hit by a massive slider today. HBP, in the baseball realm, if you will. But all things considered, we have already started learning the lesson from it: that life is really way too short to waste time on the small stuff. And yes, most of it is small stuff.
