Life has a way of throwing the unexpected at us when we least expect them?

What has been the latest challenge for you?

Are you in control? or are you coping adequately?

There are unhealthy ways to cope which may offer some temporary relief but does not take the pain away for long neither do they offer any lasting solution.

One thing is sure, problems will come in many guises and shapes, how we cope with these determine whether we are in control or not.
