Curve Ball.

Why does everything in life hit you at once?
Yesterday I found out that the one part of my life that I thought was stable, wasn't. The rock that I lean on, crumbled. Now while he puts the pieces back together, I stand with shaky legs on an unstable surface.It's strange how life throws surprises at you. While I worry about who I'm going to lean on, I also have to worry about making sure he becomes whole again. What do you do when the ground gets pulled out from under you?
pray? distract yourself? sulk? personally, I prefer the latter statement, but I know that's really not an option.

The worst part is that even when life throws you this huge curve ball, you're not allowed to strike out and go sit down. Because as much as you think life is like a baseball game, it's not. Even when you strike out, you have to keep going. Even when you're thrown a curve ball, you have to keep trying. Even when you earn 3 strikes, you're life keeps going. You may forget which base you belong on. You may even lose you're team mates, but you're baseball game keeps going. You are destined to run those bases until the day you die. Sometimes you may run forwards. Sometimes you may run backwards. The point is, you're still running. 

Today, I struck out, ran backwards, and slid too short of a base, but I'm still playing this crazy game.
