It's early on what is going to be a beautiful Adelaide winters day. I'm down by the river, in the city, on a little walk...Waiting.
This morning Faith has an operation and I've just dropped her into the hospital. She's not a huge fan of hospitals and is feeling a little nervous although I think she'll be ok.
The operation will take 90 minutes to complete so I decided to take a walk figuring it will give me a chance to clear my head as we have had a tumultuous couple of weeks and I'll be honest, it has taken its toll on me. Both of us really.
Life has a way of throwing up challenges and they're hard to deal with; That's the nature of a challenge I suppose. I've certainly had my share of them and have dealt with them well, badly and even done my best to avoid them too, much to my shame. In the main, however, I have confronted challenges, tried my best to determine how to turn them into an opportunity, and then move forward. It hasn't always worked, however it is a good ethos to have I believe. It's positive.
Faith and I will get through this difficult time: Losing our beloved pet Merlin and my father in the same week. We will deal with the stress of work and life, the pressure of her operation, COVID pressure and financial stress...We will get through all of this; The alternative is simply not palatable.
Designing and creating our ideal lives isn't easy; It takes work, effort and persistence...It is worth the effort though and so we make that effort, no matter how hard it may be.
Have a great day y'all. Do something that moves you a step forward, be nice to someone,and be nice to youself.
Now...Back to walking and waiting.
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default - Tomorrow isn't promised.
Be well
