Despite
The low blow
The ego
Takes a bruising
When you reform
Your way of thinking
Every action
Does not
Require
Reaction
Disappointment is inevitable. Of that I am sure. I’m having to reframe the situation. Every setback brings an opportunity to find the reward meant for me. Slapping on the band-aid and commencing in a forward direction. Practice what you preach, girl. Live it out. Climb the mountain, swim the lap, find your footing. The world is my oyster. Mom always says there’s more than one way to achieve the goal. Pivot, don’t despair. Each day I have to remember this. Live it out, once again, I say.
Best advice, Mom ever gave?
I agree every action does not need a reaction and your Moms advice is good -we know these things!

I like the idea of remembering to pivot and not to despair.
ReplyDeleteThere is some pivoting going on....
Dearest Regine,
ReplyDeleteLove the expression of 'Pivot, don't despair!'
Great writing and oh so true and all of us find out one way or another that this is LIFE.
Hugs,
Mariette
I think I am going to make Pivot don't despair my mantra.
ReplyDeleteSo true. So very true.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh. I would have to think about that. My mom gives me the best advice.
ReplyDeleteYour mother was right. Quite often, mothers are! I sure miss mine.
ReplyDeleteMoms are usually pretty wise!
ReplyDeleteYou mom is spot on. There are many paths to the same location.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Regine. ♥
Somehow moms really do give the best advice! To keep it light my mom says always take a jacket!
ReplyDeleteMom always told me if you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all. Best advice I've ever had!
ReplyDeleteWonderful thoughts and good teaching. Your mother was a wise woman.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to say, "The grass isn't always greener on the other side"
ReplyDeleteMy Mom always said, "This too shall pass." She was right. Now I find myself saying it to my kids.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Moms are always quite of us (kids). Your mom was very true.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely true!
ReplyDeleteTrue.
ReplyDeleteMy mum was always positive for me and now it's my turn to be as positive as I can for her at her later years.
ReplyDeleteYour mom is wise. The best advice my mom ever gave me was to Trust in Jesus.
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law was always the one who gave me the best advice. I always liked the one...
ReplyDeleteWhere there is a will there is a way!
so true, we have to be able to go with the flow, change as things change and find a way to deal with things that come our way and still try to stay positive :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to your Mom and mine. Mom used the old standby sayings but was a real model of someone to be like. Never angry and always helpful and encouraging. We could do no wrong in her eyes. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteTRUE so much of a huge blow in my life this week and coping is not easy....I try to find solace in my faith and prayer and reading your words, helps...xxx
