And now a word from our Sponsor\u2026. Perplexerall.\u00a0 One Pill Does it All.\u00a0 Perplexerall.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, only words like \u201cthwarted\u201d will do. Or \u201cquashed.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Is your monkey feeling down and out?\u2026.\u00a0 \u201cClobbered\u201d, or even perhaps \u201cPummeled.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Even Good Monkeys have Bad Days.\u00a0 Days which could make a monkey feel\u2026 Enervated.\u00a0 Jaded.\u00a0\u00a0 In some cases hackneyed. Tattered.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On Days Like THESE\u2026. Let Perplexerall Work FOR YOU!\u00a0 Too many side effects to mention in this 15-second radio spot.\u00a0 Please consult your doctor before taking Perplexerall.\u00a0 The side effects could kill ya’.

And now back to our regularly scheduled show\u2026\u00a0 The Magic Power of Bananas: Peel the Magic.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yeppers.\u00a0 There are days like those.\u00a0 It feels like a wrench hit the working monkey.\u00a0 Or is it\u2026 someone threw a monkey wrench in the works.<\/p>\n

Either way\u2026 when the monkey looks this bad\u2026. when there simply is no sock left in his monkey butt \u2026 it can only mean that things got so crazy\u2026 even the bananas left the bunch.<\/p>\n

BUT.\u00a0 But, But, but….. here is the thing to remember.\u00a0 When we are having the crappiest of days\u2026 when things seem to being going in the wrong direction\u2026 WE have the power not to make it any worse.<\/p>\n

We have the power to find a way to make….. at least….\u00a0 part of it better.\u00a0 WE are capable of seeing at least one good thing about that day.\u00a0 Any day.\u00a0 I truly believe we do.<\/p>\n

The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.–\u00a0 <\/span>Tennessee Williams<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken. – Albert Camus<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I write about the power of trying, because I want to be okay with failing. I write about generosity because I battle selfishness. I write about joy because I know sorrow. I write about faith because I almost lost mine, and I know what it is to be broken and in need of redemption. I write about gratitude because I am thankful – for all of it.\u00a0 –\u00a0 Kristin Armstrong<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
