In the Blink of an Eye

I am always amazed how in the blink of an eye, a life, or many lives, can be turned around in a completely different direction, years and miles from where things once were. Good or bad, A windfall lottery ticket or inheritance – A heart attack, auto accident, or loss of a loved one.  At that very moment our heart, mind, and soul seem to have 2 choices. We can cope or not cope. I am equally amazed that more often than not, we cope.

We may struggle in the beginning, but soon we are looking for answers and mapping a new course.  Sometimes we get lost, or want to be on the previous path that we knew from years of planning. Whether we curse or cry – ask for directions or try to figure it out, Eventually we find our way. And the beauty of it all, we survive and continue our journey.
