Crying, Laughing, and Holding On for Dear Life!

There have been so many times that I have wanted to just yell at the top of my lungs, "God, I don't think I can handle it anymore!" And everytime I am ready to do that, I realize it is just a another lesson for me to overcome, and put in the file cabinet for later, because I know I will need to make reference to it again. So I will just cry a little, laugh a little, and then hold on for dear life because I know the ride is not over yet!

Just the struggle to stay alive is enough for anyone, man or woman! Pressure to conform to a world of lost people, trying to "make it. (Yeh, the old addage "keep up with the Jones'.) Pressure to survive financially and yet still enjoy this thing called LIFE. And it seems we all turn on each other so quickly, especially now, with a society that preaches it is all about "ME". No one is willing to accept their part of the blame; the best thing to do is to blame someone else. It really is just the easier thing to do isn't it?
Is that what we want to teach our children? Because everytime we do not take ownership of our mistakes, we are teaching them how to find a scapegoat. And then we wonder why they don't tell us when they made a mistake...
