My family and I are currently living in one house and remodeling another house we hope to move into soon. However, the work and the time we put into the house does not leave much room for our usual free time. We have other obligations we have to fulfill. It is very frustrating to know that there is never enough time in a day to complete all the tasks you thought you could get done. I think one project will take a few hours and it ends up taking a whole day. This is life. Our lives will always be under construction because there is always room for improvement. The tasks will seem to take longer than we originally thought but well worth the effort in the end. I remember when my youngest was potty training. I thought she would be potty trained in days as she was very eager to learn. Instead, she took half a year to reach that goal as she loved the attention she was getting. We all have our obstacles in life and so many of us do not realize that others are much worse off than we are. Instead of complaining about the obstacles, why not turn them into advantages to do something great. Be creative and make the challenges you face somewhat fun. One of my younger sisters has always had trouble in the relationship department. She thought she would never find the right man for her. One day she decided that she was not going to let this absence of a man hold her back from happiness. She turned her obstacle into an advantage by investing more time in herself. She went back to school and started to work out. No, she has not met the man of her dreams yet but she looks and feels like a million dollars. So, being under construction while facing an obstacle has its advantages. You just have to be a little more creative in the way you handle them.
