Friday ConFessions

It's Friday and I am glad to say it's a looonnnggg holiday weekend.  True Confession--yesterday, I was so done on so many levels...but only for a moment.  Everyone knows my moments last only for seconds, and nervous breakdowns have to be scheduled in advance so, I pressed on!!!!  It seemed that everywhere I turned yesterday there was a red neon sign saying "you should have stayed in bed".   As usual the week included a list of crazy events that only happen to me (Lucyyyyy!).  For example accidently being stabbed in the hind quarter (my son really does love me); running through the woods in heels after a dog that is obviously laughing at the spectacle of me chasing her (the family dog really does hate me); two strange dogs, on two different days hanging out in my driveway, one being a Rottweiler that looked like he was foaming at the mouth; being stuck in major grid-lock traffic and being late to pick up my son that's been away at camp for 12 days; should I continue with the list, because I think you get my point.  All in all, I must confess, I had to give myself a pep talk and get it together quickly.  I went into self-talk mode because quitting and throwing in the towel isn't an option and neither is having a pity party.  I resorted to my workout and released the craziness of the days that had been set before me.   However I was reminded that some people are stuck in a ditch, rut, pit, pothole, call it what you like, some folks are stuck. I want to encourage everyone to get a shovel, a rake, a bucket, grab something, and start digging out of that hole you are in.  I've talked to several of you and several of you have fallen off the wagon and can't get up!!!   Here is your Life Call---GET UP, actually JUMP UP, look at that wagon, and CLIMB BACK IN.   You CAN Do It!  For everyone that posts about getting back in the wagon, and how they plan to get in and stay in--I will send you a little summer treat!  Come on, the wagon is rolling.....
