How do you handle the curve ball that life constantly throws at you?
We all have our ups and downs, and sometimes there seems to be more downs than ups.
As some of you know, I left my boyfriend, I turned 50, I lost my job, I went thorugh a custody battle, my best friend died, followed by my aunt, then my mom became extremely ill, and I thought I had cancer again.
As a result, I became extremely depressed, lost a lot of weight, became anti-social, but most of all I began to lose my faith.
Outside of previously having cancer, I believe this was one of the toughest times of my life.
Then, miraculously things began taking a turn for the better.
My cancer scare was put to rest, I won the custody battle, I landed a job that I truly enjoy that allows me to travel abroad, my mom got better, and I got engaged to someone I dated many years ago.
Having little faith and trust in men, I had a difficult time believing him until he put a 3.5 carot diamond platinum ring on my finger.
Noticing how the diamonds sparkled to the point of blindness, I said to myself, this must be some kind of cubic zirconia. So, still not believing (due to that lack of trust), I had it appraised. (Yeah, I know...bad girl, bad, bad girl!). To my amazement, it was real.
So, here I am, sitting back in life as happy as a bee because I found someone that truly loves me, I found a new job, I can keep my daughter, but most of all I don't have cancer and my mom is much better, I'm now waiting for the next ball to drop.
I hate to sound cynical, but it always seems that when life is going so well, the ball drops!
Am I alone in these feelings?
