<\/a><\/p>\n

I got a shovel handle right in the gut this morning.<\/p>\n

It snowed today and I have taken it upon myself to be the family shoveler. I shouldn’t, I do have 3 teenagers who could do it, but I enjoy the quiet moments outside. I love the look when it’s completed. To see the side walk cleared of snow makes me feel good. Accomplished even.<\/p>\n

I have to say, I have a pretty good shoveling game going on right now.  The dog has to go out early, so I keep the shovel at the front steps and get it done every time I take him out. If I attend to it every time he has to pee, I can stay on top of it. <\/p>\n

But today, the sidewalk got me.<\/p>\n

I was smoothly sliding my shovel along the cement, not a care in the world, when out of no where my shovel caught the crack and stopped abruptly. My body was still in motion and I lurched forward over the handle as it plummeted into my stomach bringing me to a dead stop. <\/p>\n

A few choice words were uttered, I composed myself and picked up the shovel, only to have it happen again 2 seconds later. Efffffff!<\/p>\n

Sometimes life happens the same way.<\/p>\n

You are traipsing merrily along your way and then wham! Something happens and it sucks the air right out of you. It sends you for a tailspin and causes you to question what is true.<\/p>\n

So, then you have a choice: Put down the shovel and walk away, leaving the work undone….or recognize that if you stay the course, the road will clear.<\/p>\n

You my dear, are strong enough to carry your shovel. <\/p>\n
