That means that something is always coming out of it. Sometimes it&#8217;s a sweet surprise. I had one of those today. The phone rang and it was a young man who goes to my church but whom I&#8217;ve never met. He told me that he enjoyed my speaking and was getting a lot out of this blog and he wanted to send me his tithe. That was so touching! It&#8217;s happened a few times before and is always so humbling and such a blessed thing. It&#8217;s not about money, it&#8217;s about flow.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And then there are those left field occurrences you&#8217;d just as soon do without. I was in a car accident a long time ago and I have two herniated discs in my neck. Most of the time, they&#8217;re not a big deal. I had a series of decompression treatments in 2006 that helped a lot and I haven&#8217;t paid much attention to the problem since. But about a month ago things started acting up. Today I went for the second decompression treatment and they overdid it so I had to cancel my evening plans and am pretty much lying on a TempurPedic pillow wishing I didn&#8217;t hurt and hoping that this is a minor detour.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Maybe you had a day like this today or, if not today, sometime in recent memory. This doesn&#8217;t mean that you&#8217;re not on your way to a more charmed life. These are the building-your-character-muscle days. Rolling with the punches means getting more flexible and getting stronger. So if you&#8217;re challenged today, it&#8217;s part of the process. And if you&#8217;re not, good for you &#8212; you never what&#8217;s gonna come out of left field.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":177,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-solving-problems"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>30 days to a charmed life - Day 6: role with the punches - Your Charmed Life<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/2009\/10\/30-days-to-a-charmed-life-day-6-role-with-the-punches.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"30 days to a charmed life - Day 6: role with the punches - Your Charmed Life\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/2009\/10\/30-days-to-a-charmed-life-day-6-role-with-the-punches.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Your Charmed Life\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-10-15T21:34:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Victoria Moran\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"30 days to a charmed life - Day 6: role with the punches - Your Charmed Life","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/2009\/10\/30-days-to-a-charmed-life-day-6-role-with-the-punches.html","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"30 days to a charmed life - Day 6: role with the punches - Your Charmed Life","og_description":"Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/2009\/10\/30-days-to-a-charmed-life-day-6-role-with-the-punches.html","og_site_name":"Your Charmed Life","article_published_time":"2009-10-15T21:34:28+00:00","author":"Victoria Moran","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/2009\/10\/30-days-to-a-charmed-life-day-6-role-with-the-punches.html","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/2009\/10\/30-days-to-a-charmed-life-day-6-role-with-the-punches.html","name":"30 days to a charmed life - Day 6: role with the punches - Your Charmed Life","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/#website"},"datePublished":"2009-10-15T21:34:28+00:00","dateModified":"2009-10-15T21:34:28+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/#\/schema\/person\/ebb794f0d368bdf88a1a63a4e4461b75"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/2009\/10\/30-days-to-a-charmed-life-day-6-role-with-the-punches.html#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/2009\/10\/30-days-to-a-charmed-life-day-6-role-with-the-punches.html"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife\/2009\/10\/30-days-to-a-charmed-life-day-6-role-with-the-punches.html#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/yourcharmedlife"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"30 days to a charmed life &#8212;
