It is amazing how life can teach you lessons, at any age. Last night, I talked with a friend and she began to tell me how her husband was struggling with drinking again, work wasn’t going well, but that she had her family and children. Life, even when she was down, she focused on the positive.

Another friend reached out to me last night, upset because he and his wife were having a rough patch. But, through it all, they realized how much the other was giving and putting forth to making their relationship work, but because of struggles of life, they were not seeing what the other was doing.

My wife, who works in the medical field, was on call last night, goes on call for 48 hours this weekend, which means that I’m Mr. Mom this weekend. But, her job affords us the opportunity to have her home during the week several days during the week.

Is it hard? Sure. Is it challenging? Some days. But isn’t life? Doesn’t life present challenges that we have to face every day? But it is how we deal with life and the challenges.
