"It is what it is"

I found out this week that I do not handle disappointment well. I have always been one to "control my own destiny". Right now I feel as though that control was ripped from my hands.

I'm also not a fan of the phrase "It is what it is", but it fits our current situation exactly.

Times like these, I really have to dig deep. I have to be thankful for what I have. Which is a lot. A TON, really. More than most.

I have a life with a wonderful man, loving family and friends, and have never spent a day truly in need. We have our health, a home, and plenty else to be thankful for. We will be fine.

I'll have to learn to deal with disappointment. It will make the joyous moments all that much sweeter.
