With a title like “batter up” one would believe this post is about baseball. However, it’s not! It has to do with the curve balls that life keeps tossing my way.

Every time I believe I am one step ahead of the crappy things that could possibly happen, I swing and miss that sneak curve ball. After a time, the strikes add up and in baseball three strikes and you’re out. In life, not so much unless you give up.

I am not giving up. My sister-in-law said that I’m a good catcher so I will be just fine. What happens when I’m up to bat?

Well…

I’ve had my pity party. Cried a little and then came up with a major plan. I am not going to fail without a try and in essence even if I fail, I still win because I tried.

While I’m not being specific about my numerous curve ball, this is just a simple reminder that if you continue to forge forward even in the tough time eventually you will come out on top.

Put on your baseball helmet and choke up the bat (it’s been so long since I’ve watched baseball, I hope I used the right term there). Prepare to swing with all your might and knock that ball out of the park.

Until next time,

Happy reading and writing.
