Day 36 Broken


It comes a day when your camera breaks. Either the flash isn't working or just stops operating properly. No matter how great a care you take of your equipment, either accidents, or mistreatment happens and your stuck with a broken camera. Though sometimes a broken camera disguises as a working one, but we have to make sure that we know exactly is going on with our cameras.

In this instance, the broken camera is me. I may perceive myself as an operational person, or someone is functioning properly; but I am broken. I see everyone being blessed and can't help but think, why not me? I have this way of not trying to ask for help. I feel like asking for help is a sign of weakness. I've worked hard on trying to be independent and give back. But I haven't really worked on being given too. So as I take myself to the repair shop, I have to wonder whats next in my life and where I will end up next in this refurb center that passes me from one mechanic to another. So hey at least this broken camera is doing his best to get fixed.

  1. Sometimes, it hard (especially for men) to ask for help. Part of the problem I've learned is not asking. By not asking for help-what ever it is- can bring on enormous amounts of stress. My uncle always says "a closed mouth never gets fed". That is so true. So while your going through your change of season, it's ok to ask for help. It will relieve some of the added and undue stress. I hope this helps. Life is a journey. You can either go along for the ride or sit back and let it pass.
