How Do You Manage?

I just visited a the Signing Time website (an excellent resource for parents who want to teach their infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to sign). I get their weekly emails and this particular one stood out to me! It was entitled, "My Life IS..." She was talking about how she described her life as "hard." She chose, in the end, to say my life is an unexpected adventure. She challenged us to come up with different words to describe our lives. Well, here's what I posted:

I get the emails from Signing Time and occasionally open them and read what is
"going on." This particular time, I found it to be totally "intriguing." It spoke to me and how I feel! I don't really have a problem with the word "hard." In fact, my cousin told me not use it - but the fact is - hard is what describes it. The dictionary has many definitions and for me my life is difficult to manage or control. Although, I love your angle. I think we are saying similar things or better yet, taking a better attitude. Life becomes easier - or more manageable when you go with the flow instead of against it. I expect difficulties and therefore I am able to better deal with them. Thank you for this insightful blog. I have decided to say:

My life IS!!! It is what it is. The verb to be is very powerful and I choose to be in the now and go with the flow...and enjoy the ride today (because I know waves are coming). My life IS!!!
