When it rains it pours…

3R1A6144

So the past few months have been rough, it just seems like whatever could go wrong pretty much has, so I feel like I have taken a beating. I’m usually a super positive, stress free, go getter, but lately I just feel like I keep getting kicked when I am down. Though I know the world is not falling apart, though sometimes it feels that way, it has been tough to keep it together.  That being said, I know this is temporary and I just need a reset!

So today we head to Colorado, and though the timing sucks since Bentley just had her surgery yesterday and I hate to leave her, I know she is in great hands and will be loved and pampered while we are gone.  So now we head to the place that always sets me right, the mountains. It is where I just take a deep breath, where life slows down, and where I focus on the only thing that matters which is my family! So I am excited to regroup and get my mind and heart back to my happy place!

Here’s to better days ahead because honestly I can take any more of the madness that is the past few months! And now I just have to do what my hat says and JUST BREATHE!

P.S. Thank you to for all the love, prayers, kind words and thoughts for Bentley. I am happy to report that the surgery went well! She is now recovering and being showered with love by some amazing nurses and doctors!

    I agree – when it rains, it does indeed pour!! I lost my mom/best friend 07/26/16. She had health issues for a long time and I lived with/cared for her the best I could. She had been improving so her sudden death was shocking and earth shattering. Two weeks later, my landlord informed me I have to be out by beginning of October. The house we lived together in for over 4 years. I have health issues of my own so I’m not able to work, which means no income. In less than a month I’m going to be homeless. My dog, Snickers, has been the only thing keeping me from giving up trying to figure out something. It’s easy for people to say, “it’ll get better” or “it’ll be ok” who isn’t living it. My prayers are with you and your precious dog. They are family, aren’t they?! Enjoy your vacation. Sometimes we all just need a break to be able to get some perspective. Momma & I both loved 7th Heaven & you were our favorite. Sending love & hugs your way!

    Aww! I’m glad you can go relax now. I live in Utah so the mountains are calling my name this weekend. Life gets worse before it gets better but hopefully things will start looking up. Love you Bev!! Lots of love and prayers and I’m glad Bentley is doing better! -Alessa

    Praying God will refill your spirit, increase your peace, heal the hurts, cover your family, renew you and connect with you in the midst of all of this.

    Colorado is so beautiful and I’m sure it’s breathtaking this time of year as well! Nature tends to have a calming effect on me too and whenever things get to stressful I always want to escape to the Olympic Peninsula up here in Seattle.

Sometimes life experiences change you, but to ever Sometimes life experiences change you, but to everyone else you look the same. But you are not, you are different. It’s hard to put into words and hard to explain, but there is a shift! A recalibration of sorts, that changes your makeup forever. I am grateful for these seismic changes though scary because in the long run they make me better! #wiser #tougher #stronger #thisisme #unfiltered #changed #raw #mondaymotivation Anyone else feel the change?
