The "Shrug" Theory

The dog pile of life sometimes get pretty high. This last week I kept watching one thing after the other pile. It's now to the point where my new motto is to just shrug. Sometimes when it all gets to be a little too much you have to just put your shoulders up and down, and then focus on the moment. I can't recall a time in my life where the pile got quite this high or the mud this deep.

What's the answer when the tough times hit? Action! Take action! Keep going and try not to look backward or ahead too much. All we really have is the here and now. Truly -- that's it. We could be hit by a bus tomorrow and that's the end of the show. Even if your show got to look like the circus or the most elaborate play on Broadway, it could all just end.

So no backward, no forward -- just today. And despite the pile and the deep mud, I'm going to make it a great day!
