What do you do when you get knocked down?

The correct answer is get back up, right?

Probably, but right and wrong is of course a matter of perception. Anyways, the point is that we do what we need to in order to survive. Most of us will feel a sense of vulnerability, that something can have such a powerful effect on us. That there could be an event, or series of events that would detract from our current situation to the point that we feel the sting of desparation. Desparate to be back to the way things were and to fill this void in our once full being with the things that once gave us no trouble but we now find troublesome to a degree that was once unimaginable. If this sounds overdramatic just shrug it off but if you've ever been knocked down, kicked, smacked off your daily "normal" routine and spun down the downward spiral of insecurity-OK so that was a little heavy, but when you are in the heat of the moment, when things get bad it's how we respond afterward taht shows us that we are better than that, that we can handle that sitaution and that having gone through the situation once we can get through a similar situation or difficulty with more restraint and hope than the first time. Isn't that the point? Who knows...live how you live and do what makes you happy! Within reason of course...you crazy kids out there.
