Road Blocks

 I feel like I've had way more detours and road blocks in my life than true successes. Ok, now that that's out of the way...
I am fully aware that every stumble, every 'mistake', or poor choice is a learning opportunity. I know that without the crappiness of my past, I would not be who I am right now. It has moulded who I've become in much the same way as the truly remarkable events. But why do I need all these 'learning opportunities'? Can't I be one of those blessed people who cruise through life on autopilot and just 'get it' most of the time?
I am struggling right now. Mentally, physically. The weather has been so dark and rainy that even on the sunny days I'm just waiting for the rain to start. Without a vehicle it's a giant pain in the butt to go anywhere, especially if the weather is gross or even threatening to be gross. I'm in a small amount of pain from a car accident last week; not enough to keep me couch bound, but enough to know that I will make it worse if I do too much. Too much includes working out, which has been a HUGE stress-reliever for me. So I'm stuck. And to make it worse, my almost 3 year old is like a golden retriever puppy and needs to be run like 3 times a day or he gets destructive, needy and annoying.
Ok, enough feeling sorry for myself. It can only be a good day if I MAKE it a good day... ok maybe tomorrow will be a good day.
