Just a Ride

Last week our weather was beautiful. Sunny skies, warm temperatures and very spring like days. It was bliss. 

Today it is snowing. 

Falling to the ground and sticking snowing.

I'm not going to say what I think about this because you already know what I feel about this. Additionally, if mother nature is throwing snow at us just to get her jollys I am refusing to react. Maybe if I quit throwing hissy fits every time it dares to snow she will just stop.

Do you think that will work?

Maybe?

Possibly?

Right now I am sitting here dreading the fact that I have to go to work in a couple of hours. 

Go to work and get wet. 

Go to work get wet while it snows outside (said in a calm voice because I am not angry about the snow)(So take that Mother Nature).

Do you think she is buying that I'm not angry?

Any way on another note at the gym this morning the following song popped up on my IPOD. I laughed and laughed and giggled and got all kinds of strange looks from my neighboring treadmillers. The gist of the song is to accept that things happen in your life and enjoy the ride. Take a listen.

I have had a couple of weeks of what I call drama, drama, drama. Every time I turn around something is taking place that I have to deal with that I just rather not. This song reminded me that I can't control everything and there are times that you have to just sit back and live with the ups and downs.

My favorite verse from the song says,

"Truth, we don't wanna hear

It's too much to take

Don't like to feel out of control

So we make our plans

Ten times a day

And when they don't go

Our way we

Breakdown

Yeah we breakdown

Well don't you breakdown

Listen to me

Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride

No need to run, no need to hide

It'll take you round and round

Sometimes you're up

Sometimes you're down

It's just a ride, it's just a ride

Don't be scared

Don't hide your eyes

It may feel so real inside

But don't forget it's just a ride"

To me the last couple of weeks have made it abundantly clear that there are many aspects of my life that I have no control over. Which if you know Type A personalities you know that we do not handle not having control. In fact you could label us control freaks. So the lack of control is a very scary place for us to be.

Very scary, were talking monster, snakes, and spiders scary.

Were talking ulcer forming scary.

Leading me to ask you, "How do you handle the things you can't control, but you really want to control, but you can't?" I want to know, all you enjoy the ride people, how the heck do you do it?
