Keep Your Focus and Keep Going

Today was the running of the 140th Kentucky Derby.  One of the stories came from the first race of the day, not the main one called the Derby.  In that first race, a horse pooped while running and the famous jockey, Gary Stevens, was on the horse immediately behind the horse that pooped.  Stevens got messed on.  He laughed about it when interviewed after the race.  I think that's a pretty good metaphor of life--stuff happens.  When you are trying your best, someone might mess with you.  In spite of the mess, Stevens won that first race.  So, when it seems that life is throwing a mess at you, keep your focus and keep going.
