When Things Happen…

I’m in Florida and it’s nearly 3 am.  My father is going in for surgery in a few hours and I can’t sleep.  About four weeks ago, I was in a skiing accident which left my knee in bad shape.  Two days ago, I had a huge shot of steriods placed into my painful knee and for about a day or so, I actually felt “normal.”  And now, it hurts again!  So between my dad going in for surgery and my knee, it’s one of those nights…

I know I have no control of the future and whatever will happen will happen, but I’m still nervous.

You go through the day and you focus on what you need to happen and you never think that things can change in an instant.  We go skiing as a family, like we do every year, and one small little fall the wrong way, and I’m out of skiing for the season.  I book a trip to see my parents in Florida and my dad needs surgery.  Crazy, huh?

And now, I’m sitting in bed with the lights off, thinking about how many people out there have the same experience — one day things are the way they always are and the next everything changes….

If this sounds like you, share it with me…
