All I Know about Coping I Learned From Scarlett O'Hara

My "small stone" for today.

January 11, 2013

It was a Scarlett O’Hara type of day. 

When the unexpected came up at work I thought: “As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me.”

By lunchtime my focus shifted:  “I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.” (or at least after lunch)

As I closed the door and walked out at the end of the day I knew there was always one more thing to do.   I smiled: “After all... tomorrow is another day.”

I'm not sure why Ms O'Hara crossed my mind today.  But it dawned on me that Scarlett was quite the goddess.  Think about it!  I'm surprised there's not one of those "All I Know About Life I Learned From Miz Scarlett" books. 
She has relationships figured out, "Why does a girl have to be so silly to catch a husband?"
Scarlett makes it through the dark, dangerous times.  As she digs in the parched garden she teaches us about the strength of a woman's spirit and convictions:  raising herself from the dirt, shaking her fist she declares  "As God is my witness..I'll never be hungry again.." 
She knows her goal: "Tara! Home. I'll go home."  Home to Tara.
home to the Goddess, home to our Mother.  Such wisdom!
As you slip into slumber, dream well  “After all... tomorrow is another day.”
