When Painful Things Happen and You Don’t Understand Why

Today’s posting is my guest post for the Tiny Buddha inspirational blog.  I am very happy to share this piece with you.  It is a theme that has been with me for years.  We often write about what we struggle with.  Here is my angst with the Why question and how I’ve come to terms with it.

“We all have problems.  The way we solve them is what makes us different.”  Unknown

I used to be a “why” person.  Why you ask?  Because after receiving my {middle} daughter’s diagnosis of a neurological condition, I got really hooked into the “why me” mode, and it just ate away at every fiber of my core.

I obsessed over “why”.  Why did it happen?  I needed to make sense out of a senseless fluke of nature.

It’s great to go away on vacation and it’s nice to return home with wonderful experiences soon to become memories.  So I’m back  after a two week hiatus rejuvenated from some gorgeous hiking in the Swiss Alps.  Nature is a wonderful get-a-way; it clears away the staleness inside and out.

Thanks for stopping by and do go over to the wonderful Tiny Buddha site.  Lori Deschene continues to impact a tremendous number of people with her inspirational daily writing.
