Why me?

Why does everything happen to me? A question asked by my daughter of me the other day. She is going through an awful lot including the potential death of her children’s father at an early age. Needless to say she has her hands full.
Have you ever felt that way? All of us have at one time or another and when we feel that way it is the “worst”, right? She then asked why Dad? As have you. If life was an easy task and all problems definable and easily workable then we could be robots. That isn’t the case though. Time, tenacity and toughness can help you to sustain this time. “Things” do happen for a reason as my father used to say.

Upcoming holidays-2007

As we now approach Thanksgiving and Christmas is reminds me that many people, out of work, tend to not attend such functions due to embarrassment. That should not be the case. Socializing with your friends and family at this time of year is good for you and them. It is a time for family and gathering. Never lose sight of the fact that most people want to help others, sort of a natural phenomena.
If you find yourself hibernating, staying in, keeping clear of gatherings---Don't!!! Get out there and join in, have fun, meet people and learn something. Don't allow depression to set in.
