Since I was a young girl my Grandmother has told me that nothing is impossible through he who has created us. When she passed I made that my motto. Along with Walt Disney's "If you can dream it, You can do it!" LOVE THAT! Recently, I have been feeling very defeated at work, in life, and in spirit. I wanted to just give up. As I was surfing the net one day (quite possibly Facebook, my new pastime.) I saw a quote that said "To those that say nothing is impossible, tell them to bounce a football." I laughed and cried when I read that. The foundation upon which I rested my world was now crumbling beneath my feet. I began for the next three days saying to myself they are right, you can't bounce a football. Some things are just not possible. I should really just throw in the towel. Give up all hopes and dreams. Who am I anyway? Change my diaper mommy, Where's dinner wife, do this, do that! Where has the edge disappeared to? I was suppose to be living on it and think I left a few miles back when I boarded the train to Motherhood. I mean seriously there is nothing like a few rain clouds to soak you through to your knickers in a self pity, and BOY was I soaked!
One very long week later I was watching the television as the baby napped and I happen to catch a commercial (who knows what it was about, it was a man geared commercial) where a very strong man was standing in a football field, next to a basket of balls. YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE DID NEXT! He picked up a football and bounced it! YES!! HE BOUNCED IT! The announcer came on and began talking about who knows, and I stood up from the couch screamed and jumped up and down waving my arms, then proceeded to shout ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! YAY!!! I am so very glad I was alone at that moment. I don't think an audience would have appreciated my tiny revelation.
But, Thanks to those very annoying and time consuming commercials I am now rejuvenated and ready to take the world by storm again. Anything and everything I want to do is possible! There is nothing to stand in my way! I am capable because, my created made me capable! How awesome is that! Now, just to figure out what I'm going to do.
Does anyone know if taking over the world is an option?
