So, That's how it will be

This morning I was feeling a bit "blah" so I went to one of my goto places and BINGO! Where is this place you ask? Facebook, is the location. Wisdom that comes from family is the source. This is what I found:   Trying to get out of the mindset of "this is the way we have always done it" to " this is how it is going to be now" I did not choose my life to be the way it is now...but it is what it is and I am adjusting.
Gotta' love family. The reasons are limitless, but here I see why precisely because of the example that they set. Really, this morning I was trying to think of ways that I could help others and instead I found how I needed help.

Life changes on a dime. Change with it. Years ago a good friend of mine commented something similar only more sucinctly. She said that she needed to be like a willow. I thought it a beautiful way to put it. As a kid I loved the movie Dune, uh, I still love it, but Paul Atredis was fighting Fayed Harkonen(sting) who was wearing a poisoned blade around his waist, and Paul, thought or said, I cannot remember the detail, but the line was, "I will bend like a reed." and so he does and sort of flips Fayed around and wins the fight against what seem unsurmountable odds. This is what my aunt seemed in what she said above.

She really ought to be pittied and cared for, but she instead sets the example as how to deal with things when they change on you " this is how it is going to be now" I did not choose my life to be the way it is now...but it is what it is and I am adjusting. Interesting to consider what we actually did choose, because often, I have the mindset that is harder to overcome that I did actually choose it in a pre-existance, maybe I only recognized it, acceptance then does not change the need for recognition now.

You have to be careful saying things like that cause it sort of "tempts fate" So, will I really cope or sink? Well, I will have my opportunity to see what I am made of, soon enough. So will you. But, I have a rather unfair advantage, I have a constant "lifeline" with my Heavenly Father in the form of prayer so "come what may" he is right there and he is all powerful and such. It seems kinda' unfair, but you can believe if you want to... It is your choice.

ha ha ha I bet by the title that you assumed this would be another rant about my ex husband taking my kids just when I was adjusting to things, but with kids we expect change, it is harder to get set in your way when their life and awareness changes so completely and suddenly, maybe it is teaching us something... hmmm
