Get up, show up and try again.

This morning I am painfully aware of my limitations.  Put me in front of a crowd of a 1000 people and I will be totally comfortable.  Put me in front of a computer screen dealing with URL's and RSS's and blog posts and it stirs up all kinds of anxiety in me.  

Thank God he created us all very different.  I am working this morning on trying to get this blog post out and hoping that it works.  

Life is a series of trials and errors.  Sometimes things work and sometimes they don.  And when they don't we have 2 choices.  We can cut bait or we can try again.  I have lived my whole life in the try again place.  

Not giving up means we have been married 37 years.

Not giving up means we 4 children instead of 1

Not giving up means our son is currently sober

Not giving up means I have friendships that have lasted 30 years or more

Get up, show up and don't give up today.  

And if for some reason, this doesn't work this morning....

I will wake up and try again tomorrow.
