Life is...

Someone once said "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get." Well, I look at life a little differently. We have all heard the song "Love is a Battlefield." If you haven't heard this song, you really should brush up on your 80's music trivia. You see, I think Life is like a Battlefield. Full of blood, sweat, tears, opposition, pain, and hard work. But it is these things that bring us to victory. Whether it be tackling tantrums with your toddler, or struggling in your relationship with your spouse. It always takes hard work, more often than not there are tears, and there is always opposition. But the sweet taste of victory is better than we could have ever imagined, even better than Dear Lizzy cupcakes (yum!). It is victory over life, and more importantly our human weaknesses, that ultimately get us to where we want to be. In this blog I hope to share some of the battlefields that make up my life. Hopefully I can keep laughing along the way. Because, if you let it in, life is also filled with so much Joy, and millions of things to laugh about.
