If you are a loyal reader of this blog or entrecard dropper you will probably notice that my posts have been a bit scattered and my drops not quite so consistent. I am sorry and hope to be back on track soon. Things have been a little tough lately and I am going through some confusing times. I am like a cat and will land on my feet but the interim is hard and I am trying to figure out day by day how to move forward in a 
positive way. Don't worry as I always somehow come out on top and will this time too but have had some bumps and potholes on the road of life lately
Fortunately I am an independent and strong person and really believe that the things that hurt us the most are the things that we learn the most from. I really just thought that by forty I would have been ever so slightly more clever and smart enough to not get myself into these things in life . Oh well, it is what it is and now here I am learning some hard lessons again but very inspired that this will all make me a stronger and better person.
I am trying to catch up and get back up to par and hopefully soon will be right back where I was if not better.
A little inspiration-(it is one of those quote book times in my life)
Fall seven times, stand up eight-Japanese proverb
"I will love the light for it shows me the way. Yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars." Og Mandino
"We are still masters of our fate.We are still captains of our souls." Winston Churchill
"We are the choices we make." Meryl Streep
"Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling." Margaret Lee Runbeck
Another great thing in my corner is my mother (thank you mom) always told me that regardless of what happens you have no choice but to keep going, to not only survive but to thrive. I have always embraced that and know that whatever happens you cannot give in to that feeling of throwing the covers over your head and not getting out of bed. You have to get out of bed no matter how much you don't want to, you have to face whatever you are dealing with-there is no other way if you want to conquer whatever is hurting you. So, I will get up each day and keep going, figuring it all out and somehow I know inside that everything will be okay. If you are having hard times in your life just know that it will be okay and just keep going. All will be well.....

Long time no stop by on my part (so sorry) but I must admit your blog is one of my favorites.
I think in these uncertain times were all kinda "going through" is the best way I can describle it, so keep your head up, and if ever you want to co-miserate with a stranger write anytime, I've found it's sometimes easier to chat with people who don't know you or expect anything from you.
On a different note, reading your post helped to encourage me to begin my own organic coop

Hope to see you around again soon.

That last part reminds me of an old Buddhist passage, "Promptness is crucial in leading a victorious life. How we start each morning determines that days victory or defeat. It is always important that we resolve to win in the morning, and begin our work with an energetic and refreshed spirit. We mustn't forget that this is the secret to continual success. We live in a tumultuous age, and in such times, swift action is the key to success and overcoming your setbacks." That might not help, but it helps me when im having problems with stuff.
Here's two quotes for you...
"The way I see it, if you want to see the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain" - Dolly Parton
"Look inside you and be strong, then you'll see the truth that the hero lies in you" - Mariah Carey
As you know, we all go through those rough spots in life, but every single day, we learn, we grow and get stronger. My brother always told me, don't ever be ashamed of where you've been.
Just keep that wonderful attitude, bright outlook on life, love in your heart and you'll be just fine! :-)
Sorry to hear about your troubles. I have gone through some bad times in life myself, so I know how rough it can be - gut-wrenching at times. Things just happen and it's never easy. Now I hate to sound trite, but my dearly departed old friend Tony used to say, keep on truckin. Simple, but those three words have carried me through the worst times imaginable. So land on your feet kittycat, and keep on truckin. We'll see you when your ready.
meanwhile...
Happy trails.
Keep your chin up, do your best to keep it moving, and I'm sure you'll get through this!
Hope things work out soon! :)
Good luck with things.
(you can always watch one of my goofy videos for a laugh to take your mind off things)
peace,

I haven't been posting much lately, either.
Btw, sometime ago I noticed that you no longer follow out of my hat...apologies if something offended you, understanding if it was just one too many things to keep up with.
Take care <><
Sounds like the one I OFTEN say to myself...
Get up one more time...AGAIN!!!
So sorry to hear a friend, like you, is hurting inside. With your positive attitude amidst life's troubles, I know you'll conquer them and be stronger because of them. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for sharing those wonderful and very positive quotes.
Take care and God Bless,
Tasha

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. But, you are correct. I believe much the same way as you.
Some times the road is bumpy and hard. But, with persistence and faith in time things do come back round.
Sending you great big hugs,
