You’re not lost until you run out of gas!

Sometimes, you’re gonna get lost. It will happen. My sense of direction is notoriously terrible and before Google Maps, I could get lost in the parking lot of Fayette Mall! But James Glenn Caudill once told me that you’re never really lost until you run out of gas. If the car is running, you got a fighting chance. And the same can be said for us as we make our way through life. The world is gonna throw everything is has at you. You will be face some hard times. There’s a quote from one of the Rocky movies that says “It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you get hit and get back up!” But as long as there is gas in your tank, you’re not lost. And you won’t believe how much gas your tank can hold. Somedays, you might feel like Atlas, pushing the entire world up that mountain. But you can persevere. And remember to keep refilling your tank whenever your can? How do you do that? That’s the easy part! I get hugs from Clark and watch scary movies. (Usually not at the same time) Tracie takes bubble baths or works out. You just need to find your own moments to relax and spark joy. Then, you’ll be ready to go another round. So, when times get tough, and they will, don’t forget that you’ve still got some gas in the tank to get you over that next hill on your path.
