It's OK no matter what it looks like

Do you ever get a feeling like you're out jumping waves and the waves seem to get higher and rougher?
I had that feeling this morning as waves of financial setbacks kept on coming in today. At one point I was just tempted to curl up and cry; however, notwithstanding a moment's release, I still had to deal with what was coming at me. Simply no use in wallowing. When wave jumping isn't fun any more that's a sign to get out of the ocean and just look. The trick was getting out of the ocean. Sometimes it's just too rough to do it on my own, so I sent up a flare-I used gratitude. I just started reminding myself that I was grateful that I had clothes to wear, that I could pay rent, that I had food to eat, that I could see out of my eyes and walk on my legs. Wow! right away I felt stronger, clearer. I'm still in process with finding some resolutions; however, the ground is firmer beneath me. I'm humbled where I'm needing to be humbled. That can only be good, no matter what.
