Faithful Wonders

Everything happens for a reason.
I’ve said those words a million times
& I truly believe them.
I do.

But, sometimes.
Some. Times.

I’ve been spending a lot of minutes waiting these days.
Waiting and wondering.
Wondering and waiting.
So Beware.
We all know what happens when I contemplate too much …

hmmm

I honestly think each and every single one of us is handed a road map when we enter this world
& what we decide to do with it is entirely up to us.

We might “luck out” and get a good path, one with only an occasion bump or two
or
We may get a bummer of a route, marred by this, that and a whole bunch of stuff.
The route, I believe, doesn’t much matter.
When all is said and done, it’s our response to our road map that is important.

What did I do with my ‘good’ ?
How did I handle my ‘bad’ ?
Was I a WHY ME ???? responder or did I trust ?

As I sit here and ponder, I’ve become aware of people in worse case scenarios proceed with beautiful ease
& I’ve seen people in the lightest of circumstances react with incredible doom and gloom
& I think, what is MY reply to MY life road ?

There’s been ups, there’s been downs, there’s been every little thing in between
& once upon a time, I allowed myself to be pulled into that vortex of UGH.
Complaining was so much easier than choosing to look for bright.
Where in the world, HOW in the world could there be hopeful in a horribly bad situation ??

Seek it.
I guarantee Positive is there.
A lesson and a reason are patiently waiting for you too.

Seems we can’t eliminate the unfortunate that sometimes surrounds us but, we CAN adjust our response to it.
Answer Negative with Negative and all you have is Negative.
But, choose Positive ?
Choose to ask why and search for that reason ?
Choose to trust ?
THERE you will find allllllll your answers.

Yep. That’s Life in a nutshell, according to Me.
As I wait and wonder, wonder and wait.
