Life.

Life serves to teach.

But sometimes these lessons suck.

Sometimes they sting.

They hurt.

Literally and figuratively.

After my recent fall, and multiple oral surgeries, I can attest to this first hand.

These so called lessons may leave you wondering why.

Why me?

Why this?

Why now?

Why?

You may find yourself asking what are these events trying to teach me?

Or you may feel that whatever is happening is trying to punish you.

Either way, keep on keeping on.

The lessons will be revealed, all in good time.

What does not kill us, does in fact, make us stronger.

Power through, and do it with a smile.

Even though in my case, I can't get new teeth until October and subsequently lost feeling in my lower lip so smiling, talking and eating have become problematic and is awkward and better yet, embarrassing, but I promise I will wake up every day and at least, try.

I guess I am really speaking to myself on this one, but perhaps someone else out there needs affirmation too, and to you I echo these thoughts.

Keep that head high and carry on.

We got this.

Xoxo,
