Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This

Yesterday was one of those days where everything went wrong. I called my mom and complained to her and she said, "You know that song 'Mama Said There would Be Days Like This'? Well, today is one of those days and you just have to nip it in the butt." or something along those lines. So, instead of stating all that went wrong, I'm going to make a list of all that went right . . .

We are stronger than we think we are. When the wind tries to blow us away, we just need to turn around and catch it. Or, as my mother would say, turn around and nip it in the butt. :)
