You made your bed...now smile

Well if you are anything like me you've made some serious mistakes, some unavoidable and you found out too late that oops that hurt, others you wish you could hit pause or rewind mid-stream. Regardless to how you found yourself in this mess, now you have to make a choice. Live with it or Live through it. Living with it means you have become comfortable with bed sores and have zero desire to change positions. You will just lie in your pitifull state, waiting for someone to come turn you. Sad part is that even if they turned you away from the wall to the window you would never notice the view. Living through it means buying the neospirin to clean the infection out and the bandaid to cover it not just so that you heal, but to protect you from the dirt that would like to set up residence. It means accepting the scar that will remain as a growth mark. A reminder that you learned from the fall and from now on you will side step that path. Most importantly that you embrace the mistake and never categorizes it as regret. A few things that I've found to be true; we need the sad times to grow so that we can enjoy the happy times. Now go change those sheets!!!! And smile!!!!
