Unexpected Flying Objects

Tonight I had a blast watching my first baseball game in Jacksonville!!  What made it more fun was going with my husband, sister, her husband, and of course my gorgeous niece!!
Not long after the 7th inning stretch, the 'girls' decided it was time for a bathroom break .... and ironically our timing couldn't have been better!  You see, as we made our way back to our seats, we saw a flying bat flying past where we would have been sitting!  Yes, the batter had lost his bat and it went flying though our area, actually hitting several people!!
Life has a way of sometimes throwing things your way when you least expect them.  Everything can be going smoothly, but all of a sudden something completely unexpected comes your way that you never imagined coming - a little like that baseball bat!!
When living with Ed, these sudden changes would simply be ammunition for him - reasons why we should just listen to him and not choose recovery.  However, today what I have learned is that even though you may be caught off guard, may experience disappointment from a source you never imagined possible, the reality is that none of those things mean anything when it comes to recovery.  Nothing is worth feeling sad over if it means choosing between Ed and Recovery!
The Jacksonville Suns won their game tonight;  nobody was seriously hurt from the unexpected flying bat;  and life yet again had a wonderful way of reminding me why no matter what happens, so long as I have those things that keep me grounded - like my family to enjoy a baseball game with - it doesn't matter what life throws my way, I will always be victorious!!
