Happy Friday! I live in Salt Lake City. This year we had a lot of snow on the valley floors as well as in the mountains but the last few days, and today especially, have been beautiful. The temperatures were in the mid-fifties which is a heat wave compared to what it has been. Our last major snow storm was three weeks ago. I shoveled over 18 inches of snow off my driveway. I remember thinking as I was shoveling snow into a huge pile next to my driveway, “This mound of snow will never go away.” As I got in my car today, I noticed the six foot snow pile next to may drive-way was completely gone.
I think there is a lesson here. With today’s rising gas prices, the threat of recession around the corner, and just the normal day-to-day stuff that happens, my “struggles pile” is getting higher and higher. It seems so high at times that it might not ever melt away. Just like the pile of snow in my driveway, this too will one day disappear. So, when I despair about my at home business (or life in general), and worry that nothing will ever work out, I have to remember the snow pile next to my driveway and realize that, “This too will pass.” Until then, I will remember the advice of my dad who said, “If all else fails, lower your expectations.” I know things will eventually work out, they always do.
Until next time, may your “struggles pile” be small and may you have another day in paradise.
