When a Curveball Grows to a Snowball

If you are like me you've read most of the self-help books and you are intentional about staying positive on a daily basis. What do you do though when the first thing that happens after waking up in the morning is a curveball. Then another curveball. Until you finally realize it isn't a curveball of unfortunate events it's a snowball. 

For me, I focus on my crutch. Something that is bigger than myself and who can take on my burdens, fears, and doubts. 

What's it for you?
