What a difference a day makes.. anyone for Lemonade

 Have you ever heard the expression "When life throws you lemons - make Lemonade."

Well that kind of sums up my life right now.

Without going into extreme detail in a blog. There are times when you hit a few bumps in the road or a few curve balls that you just never expected.

Well that is kind of where I am at in more ways than one right now.

The important thing to remember in these situations is that everyone can react differently. 

You can attend a concert with a friend and your friend will interpret and experience the events in a different way,

This is not to say that either experience is wrong. Each experience is validated when scrutinised by the self,

In the last few days I have had a curve ball. 

I am in the process of navigating this and at the time of writing I am not sure how things will unfold.

There is one thing I am certain of,

This is a bump in the road but roads get fixed.

I have had many obstacles come across my pathway in my life.

I find it extremely interesting in these moments the roles that people play,

The Avoiders - We will go silent and avoid the person. (We feel awkward and don't know what to say)

The Know it alls - Oh we know exactly what is going on here (but we have not really asked the person if our assumption is accurate)

The friends - the ones who call or listen (even if they have heard it before)

The religious people - the ones that might have a faith but also might misinterpret or assume something without taking time to ask or sit down with you.

The person of faith  or not - that says  Hi, how are you? What's going on and can I help?

Here are some key tips - Listen to the person, 

 Don't assume you understand something if you have little or no relationship with a person.

Don't play games - especially if you have not thought it through

Be Kind.
