Shining Thru

Why does it seem like every time you get a step ahead, you get knocked back one, if you’re lucky it’ll only be one and not three.  Every time a glimmer of hope appears on the horizon it is shot down by a lunar eclipse.  It doesn’t seem to matter how well things are going, you have to put yourself on alert for the blunt force trauma to hit.  Money comes your way and something breaks, Savings add up and there is an emergency; complications hit knocking us down.  All you can do is sigh and chalk it up to life.  One point life….when will the next one come?  You’re hoping it’s not one of those things that comes in threes.

You don’t have many choices when you get knocked down, you can stay down and accept that’s the way things are, or you can get up and begin the climb again and hope that you don’t step on the slippery slope before you make it to the top.  Or worse, reach the top of the mountain just to trip and tumble down the other side.
