It's hard to roll with the punches...

...which, I guess, is a sign that it's the right thing to do, as anything worth doing or having ain't easy. But, it really is hard, sometimes.

I tend to use the phrase, "It's all good," as a personal mantra of sorts, mainly with respect to things that I can't change and just have to weather. It's not that I don't care, but I've grown tired of tilting at windmills that don't matter for much. Sure, I'll still drop my lance and change on, sometimes without reason, at the windmills that do matter, such as individual freedom over corporate conglomeration, but those are things that could be changed by the voices of many. Stuff like when my next paycheck comes or how tight money will be until then, well that doesn't matter.

It sucks, though, as sometimes I find it real, real hard to roll with the punches and I'd like nothing better than to just say, "Screw it," and just have a Falling Down moment...but, I'm not there right now. Heck, I doubt I'll ever be, as I've seen the bottom and I ain't anywhere near it. Sure, it's lonely right now. Sure, it's fiscally hard right now, but I'm healthy, busy, and enjoying most everything else in life.

It could be a lot worse, a lot more dire, so I guess it's really all good.
