Please Keep Your Hands And Feet Inside The Train

I’ve had a weird couple of days.  They’ve started out pretty normal, then moved quickly into really exciting and awesome, then both yesterday and today took a sharp turn into really frustrating and stressful.  An absolute roller coaster.  Have you ever had a days like that?  I’m not sure how much I want to get into it on here just yet, but I will say this.  I am unabashedly thankful for an amazing, understanding wife and friends with level heads when mine is far from it.

If you’ve been around this blog at all you’ll know I’m a pretty (for lack of a better word) sensitive person when it comes to negativity of any kind.  Call it ‘thin skin’ or whatever you like, but I get affected pretty easily by other people’s actions which is not exactly an amazing attribute to have when you’re running a company I don’t think.

Over the past two days, I’ve literally gone from some of the coolest phone conversations with exciting opportunities followed up by some conversations that have left me speechless and, quite frankly, jacked up a little.  I’ve gone from major changes in an awesome direction, to major changes in a hurtful direction and back again.

Mostly I’m just processing things, but right now I’m continuing to appreciate Kristin and all that she does for me and our family, appreciate friends that I can call and talk about these struggles and have them let me know it’s not that bad.

So that’s the deal right now.  Sorry this is such a lame post, but I just wanted to let you all know where things are at.  More to come on some of these more exciting things for sure.  That stuff is going to be amazing.

    No comments or words or support yet?? Well!! Where the heck is your mom!!!??? (j/k)

    Brody your last 2 1/2 years has been a little like this. But, usually in weeks or months, not back-to-back days. Your little dream has gotten bigger, your responsibilities more, and headaches to go along with it. You DO have an angel for a wife. I dream one day of living in her world of crafts & cooking & gardening & all things boys. Well, maybe not that last thing! You both have an awesome eye for detail and imaginations that are certainly showing up in the boys. I can see that from here!

    Today’s 12 step meditation dwelt on this very thing. Having negativity in our day & acting out on that negativism. All day long. And it shows, not only on you, but those around you. But, turn that frown upside down and your light will shine. What is it in the song on tobyMac’s new CD? “Wonderin’”. There’s a line toward the end: “don’t shade the shine”. Those are 4 simple, but powerful words! Don’t shade the shine, Brody. Good things & bad are going to happen. Try a different pair of glasses & change your perspective. What is GOOD about the negative thing?

    That is all. You may now return to your regularly scheduled app. : )

  2. God has gifted you with the support you need for rollercoaster days! Praise Him. I hope everything works out…
