Life...

You never know what life is going to hand you each day. Sometimes it is beauty, joy, happiness so wonderful that you don't think you deserve so much goodness.

And then there are days when you learn of something that makes your heart crack and bleed and hurt... and you wonder why the gods have decided to kick you in the stomach.

When something like this happens, I find myself getting busy. Physically busy. Doing laundry, working in the yard, washing dishes, emptying wastebaskets.... anything to dull the pain of what is hurting my heart.

There is nothing I can do to change this thing that has happened. Life must go on. Life will go on. Sort of like finding out there is a large scratch on your car and you have no idea how it got there.

I think I know how you feel.

Or at least it reminds me of a way I feel... if that makes sense.

It's a horrible, empty, aching feeling.
