A blog where we can journey together for a healthier life
SOOO many ways this post could go…..
One could answer yes, then panic trying to figure out if big brother is watching…
One could argue over whose laws should be obeyed…God’s vs. man’s….
Or I could invite people to follow me during my morning commute on I-5 and witness drivers proving that apparently traffic laws are merely suggestions 🙂
Instead, I will give you a pretty photo to look at and just plead the 5th!

A little fun play on words….
I have gone through alot in life and I try to use those experiences to help others and the up high is a little humor since I am a really tall female 🙂
My dad – I literally have no idea. He disappeared one night when I was 7 years old, never to be seen or heard from again.
My mom, on the other hand, was still ministering in church as the Sunday accompanist on the piano and serving elderly patients as a Nurse’s Aide in the extended care wing of our local hospital.
There are several laws I despise, especially tax-related laws. If I have to pick just one, it would be completely starting over with all the fees and taxes related to purchasing, owning, operating, and gassing up my vehicle. Ugh
It is not governed by an HOA
I do not have to pay property taxes
It never requires repairs

Then after that , tell my husband.
Crocheting and I had to go our separate ways. I am really in knots about it too. 🙂
Turning Setbacks into Comebacks: How to Bounce Back Stronger After Failure – PART ONE
Failure has a way of knocking the wind out of us. Whether it’s a missed opportunity, a project that flopped, or a personal goal that slipped through our fingers, setbacks can feel like full stops at the end of a sentence we weren’t ready to finish.
But here’s the truth: setbacks don’t define your story—how you respond to them does. Many of the most successful people didn’t avoid failure; they learned how to turn it into fuel. A comeback isn’t about pretending the fall didn’t hurt. It’s about using what you learned from the fall to rise smarter, stronger, and more resilient.
Let’s break down how to do exactly that.
Reframe Failure as Feedback. Failure feels personal, but it’s rarely a verdict on your worth or potential. Instead of asking, “Why did I fail?” try asking, “What is this teaching me?”
Every setback carries data: What didn’t work? What assumptions were wrong? What skills need strengthening?
When you treat failure as feedback, you shift from self-blame to self-improvement—and that mindset change alone can be transformative.
Give Yourself Permission to Feel (Briefly) Bouncing back doesn’t mean suppressing disappointment. Ignoring emotions often makes them louder later. Allow yourself to feel frustrated, sad, or even angry—but set a time limit.
Think of it as a “grieving window”: Acknowledge the loss. Process the emotion. Then consciously decide to move forward. Emotion is human. Staying stuck in it is optional.
Separate Your Identity from the Outcome. One failure does not make you a failure. This distinction is crucial. Instead of: “I failed, so I’m not good at this. Try: “This attempt failed, and I can improve the next one.”
When your identity stays intact, your confidence becomes resilient. You remain someone who learns, not someone who loses.
