“Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.”
Maya Angelou
One of the things I try to do is find a reason why a particular thing happened. After living a happy and fortunate life for 23 years with JR, my first husband, it seems like after he passed away everything has gone wrong up to this day.
As I was contemplating life this Thanksgiving day and being grateful for everything, even the sad things that have happened I made a realization that I have thought of often. In my life, like everyone else, I've experienced good and bad phases. I've learned lessons through all of them.
Some people stay in a bad situation, meaning "bad" emotional state having gone through an unfortunate time. It is my hope that I can be an example of someone who has gone through one bad thing after another for several decades and can work my way out of a bad emotional state. There is another side to most bad situations. You just have to find it and realize it. For me, my faith in God gets me through even the bad days lately.
I'm always trying to find my way out of that cloud and I hope my life experiences can help you too.
