Water

My realtor called me this morning. I was very excited to see her name pop up on caller id, but I knew within seconds it wasn't an offer call. Turns out my neighbor called her to let her know there was water coming out of our garage. Our realtor was hopeful it would be the hot water heater... that would be an easy fix. Unfortunately, it was not the water heater, it was the supply line to our hall bathroom on the opposite side of the house. My brain kind of got fuzzy at that point. This is the second time we've lived this scenario... house sitting empty for sale and experience internal flooding... all I good do was laugh! So, the water's been turned off, A/C's turned off, carpet guys been called and Steve's contacted our insurance company. I'm just going to continue laughing for now and try to finish a presentation.

Ahhhhh... I keep hearing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" in my head... :)

Turning Point

Your troubles can sometimes be your greatest blessings. Because those troubles will hound you relentlessly until you make valuable improvements.

Your troubles help you to see and understand your weaknesses. And that enables you to start transforming those weaknesses into strengths.

The best way to respond to trouble is not to curse it, but to do it one better. See each challenge as an opportunity to raise yourself to a higher level.

As with everything else, your troubles are what you make of them. You can choose to make each one a turning point to a more positive and fulfilled life.

Many of history's greatest accomplishments were responses to terribly difficult problems. Many of your own greatest advances have been in response to challenging situations.

Choose to find the positive possibilities in everything that comes your way. And no problems will ever be able to hold you back.
