Life = Adversity – Adversity = Life…

I am so not political – nor am I religious by nature.

I tend to me more spiritual and typically keep my opinions to myself.

Every one in a while I jump on my soap box and hope that on some level I can make a difference on this spinning ball.

So I’ll keep this short with some thoughts – musings – what have you.

Life = Adversity…

I myself have been no stranger to adversity in my years on this planet. Married too young – children too young  = Life. Separated with two young children too young – faced with an insurmountable and not deserved I might add mountain of debt = Adversity.

I worked 3 jobs – I paid off the mountain and took control of my life. Life – 1 – Adversity – 0.

Flash forward – many years. Child one – a fire cracker and outgoing. Starting to experience the dance of Life = Adversity. The song has not ended for her dance yet – but I know my girl – I think I taught her well – she will finish that dance with a flourish and if not – she will cue up the music and start dancing again.

Child Two- sigh – Child Two – same dance – different music. I have always said that Child Two has a song playing in his head and only he can hear it. Every once in a while I catch a few riffs of it – but it is few and far between. He is just learning that Life = Adversity and I pray he is ready for that bitch!

Whatever song the Children choose to dance to – I am sure it will be epic!

Adversity = Life…

What would our  lives be without challenge?

Would we go about our merry ways never worrying about money, children, food, paying our bills etc etc etc? or would we all curl up on deck chairs – like in that movie WallE -(FYI one of my faves) having a muffin in a cup while everyone does everything for us on some giant Axiom  never thinking – never doing?

WHOA!!! Heavy!

Life = Adversity and Adversity = Life…it’s interesting.

On a side note – would you rather fight a horse sized duck or 6 duck sized horses?? I’ll let you think about that for awhile. Answer if you wish or not.
