Life Happens!

Isn't it strange how no matter what is going on around you,  good or bad, life continues to move on? It can move on with you or with out you, it has no preference! I have really been thinking about this a lot lately, do, to a lot of my friends, my brother, and others around me, really struggling, just to make it day to day. They are facing, things anywhere, from finding out whether their husband has breast, and skin cancer, to being able to verbally communicate, and walk once again!!! Some are still grieving the loss of loved ones, while others are celebrating the birth of new lives coming into the world!!  The thing that is so mind boggling for me is that it can all be happening at the same exact time. All of these things, on the same exact day, at the exact same time, to people all around the world. I know logically we all know this, but I think we forget those who really need an extra smile, a short phone call, (which I myself fall very short of.) A quick hug, or just letting them no we are there for them! It seems so many or going through so much. The times have gotten a lot tighter, things are more expensive, and a lot of people feel things won't get any better. Today, I have to say, God isn't suppose to give us more then we can handle. God must think we are a lot stronger, then we think we are. He really gives us the shadow of a doubt. So many bad things happen to good people. I always say there is a reason for everything that happens, but, sometimes it is really hard to believe that, especially when I spend the day with my brother. He has to struggle everyday just to do the simplest things. I am hurt, sad for him, and very angry!! I struggle with my own demands from day to day, I know we all do. Can it just stop, for a little while,..... a break from bad news, bad times, bad thoughts. Just stop and be silent, and be able to enjoy the beauty all around us, without any of the bad ruining the view??? I know from time to time, we all go through rough patches. If only, when those things happen, you get time off the clock, a time out to catch up, let your mind, compute what's going on! But, that isn't how life works!! No matter the situation, you have to make what you can of it, and move on, cause life happens, ready or not!!
