Pondering life

Life has been a little rocky lately. A lot of personal and family issues have surfaced. All of this makes me realize how fast our life can change . It also makes me realize how we think we have control of our lives and at the same time we have no control of our lives at all. We can only live in the moment but plan for the future. Those plans may need to be altered, however, as life randomly choses its own paths....paths that may not be familiar to us. As we are forced to follow these paths, we are forced to accept the unfamiliar. These are not comfortable situations and often bring heartache, fears and tears. I do try to remember that this is temporary and the path can change for the better just as quickly. Happiness can happen as quickly!!!
