What's the lesson?

In life, we're always told to find the lesson. Grow and learn from hardships. When one door closes, another one opens...everything happens for a reason...make lemonade out of lemons...I embrace this philosophy, my family has certainly been dealt with our fair share of "life"...I will always look for the lesson and try and grow as a person.

Yesterday I was presented with a scenario that I can't find meaning to...a co-worker from another state who was traveling through ours to tend to a sad family tragedy stopped at our office.  This woman (and her daughter and sister) in grief, had a story that has me so sad.  Without going into detail, there are just some things that are unexplained and there may not be any lesson to learn...perhaps the lesson (if there is one...and I'm reaching) is to just accept what is and to try not to find answers.

With the advice from a beautiful co-worker, (you know who you are KS) I am not going to try and find meaning in this tragedy, I will just sit with it. I will accept that I can't, and never could change the outcome of certain situations. Big sighs tonight and sweet blessings to my friends and family.

Live every day.
