DO OVER!!!

I do my best to not make this blog all about me and my adventures.

Being a blogger somewhat makes you incredibly narcissistic because really – you are writing about what is going on in “your” life – what is happening on “your” farm – what “you” think.

I really do try to intersperse some of everyday goings on from time to time so I don’t sound like “it’s all about me”.

Nothing ever is all about me. Occasionally maybe I get a little prickish and bitchy because I’ve had a bad day or week or month but please recognise that I love people and the human race. I love my children and I love my family.

My fondest wish is that everyone is happy, healthy and doing just fine.

Sometimes that unfortunately does not happen though.

Remember when we were kids – when something did not go your way – you yelled “DO OVER”.??

You lost at the game of Red Rover – DO OVER or you missed that catch – DO OVER.

(Here is where I talk about me – just a heads up).

I – by no stretch of the imagination wish I could call DO OVER on my life.

I’ve had a great life. It’s had a few bumps and hiccups but each of those has made me the woman I am – has brought me to this place in my life and has taught me valuable lessons.

These past few months – hell – this past year – I’d like to exercise the childhood right of DO OVER!!!

This past year has been particularly stressful on me – my family and my friends.

My children have had to endure the worst imaginable pain of losing a parent.

My family is currently enduring the stress of dealing with an ill mother from that evil cancer.

My cousin is fighting for her life from that evil cancer.

My friend is fighting for his life – again from that evil cancer.

I – personally do not need a DO OVER. I want to use every DO OVER that I have to grant my children,  my family and my friend a DO OVER.

Sadly – DO OVERs don’t exist and we must make the best of the situation be it bad or good and keep pushing through and keep our heads up and keep loving each other and keep supporting each other.

Life is short – love each other.

I said that back in January of this past year and I will continue to say it as often as I can.

Life is short – love each other.
