A bit ago, a strong thunderstorm passed through leaving nearly two inches of rain. The thunder roared and lightening flashed throughout the storm. Then, as quickly as it came, it was over. the skies cleared and the sun shone. Hold on during the storms. They’ll pass, the skies will clear.Â

🤗 A Better Life ~ Learn to Roll with It
It’s been my experience that no matter how well I plan the day, it seldom works the way I want it to work. Unexpected surprises and interruptions mark my path. I’ve found that learning to roll with the surprises and interruptions keep me centered. Today, if unexpected surprises and interruptions mark your day, just roll with it.Â
💡 Something to Think About
When I was a kid I’d go fishing with friends. I recall using a small red lure called a “daredevil” to catch pickerel. I’d cast the lure near lily pads and hope I’d get a strike. The lure worked fairly well and soon I’d get a strike and a large pickerel would leap out of the water with the lure stuck in its mouth. If the pickerel let the lure pass, it had another day to enjoy life. How many times do you and I snap at the lure someone tosses by us. If we only let it go, the day would have been a happier one. Today, let the lures pass by and enjoy life.

💡 Something to Think About
Birds swoop into my bird feeder as if it hosts a fantastic buffet. Every so often, a large hawk swoops in and picks up an unsuspecting dove walking out from the protection of the trees. In nature, there are consequences for actions. The same is true for humans. What we eat has consequences for our health. How we treat others has consequences for how others will treat us. Just like the birds flying in and out of my bird feeder, we have consequences for all our actions.Â
