If life knocks you down...

stand back up.  Being on this earth school can sometimes be pretty frustrating.  Lessons sometimes come in the form of a cast iron frying pan to the head.  For me, those are the ones that I usually learn from the best.  And I have learned to "shake it off," and stand back up.  Don't you love that song?!  It seems, sometimes, that the harder I try, the more hard lessons I get, but I have to know that fully living is a messy and hard process from time to time.  It happens to all of us, and I would rather learn something once and for all than dink around and keep having the same thing pop up.  I have added meditation to the mix and it really seems to help.  Catboy tells me that's how he gets through things!  Make a ripple, live, see what happens.
