The storms of life



Today was a rainy, stormy day....and it was a rainy, stormy day within my soul as well.  There is so much uncertainty in life now.   Life is throwing me so many curve balls...and I have never been very athletic...so I am certainly not good at catching them or hitting them...or whatever one does with a curve ball.  The future is looking uncertain and a little scary.  I took today....and I let myself just feel it all...I let myself wallow a little and think of options and play out worst case scenarios.  I thought about so many dear ones who are in similar circumstances.  I thought about others whom I dearly love that are struggling with issues in their lives.  I wept a tear for all of us...and I wondered why it must be this way.

 But that is enough of that.  That is going to get me nowhere fast.  All I know for sure is that I have today.  I don't know what tomorrow holds.  So there is no sense in worrying and obsessing over it.  I will put today and it's accompanying feelings of doubt behind me....and face tomorrow resolute in the belief that the sun will shine again.  Today I ran to get out of the rain.  I ran from the storms of my life.  But tomorrow......tomorrow I will dance in the rain...and make the best of whatever life hands me...and believe.  With everything in me, I will believe....that the storm will pass and I will feel the sun shine on me again.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain."
