Life is Funny That Way

Anyone looking from the outside into my life would expect me to be crazed. My mother is in heart failure, my sister just had a spinal operation to remove a tumor, my brother is hospitalized monthly with diabetes failure and my plate is full with two lives. And yet, I am calm. Even I am surprised by the calmness and peace that prevail in my life. I seemed to have learned a valuable lesson in my many studies and that is my life is not tied to the distress of others. I love my family deeply, but instead of spiraling into pity, blame and stress - I have instead turned to prayer, love and emotional support for my family. What a difference. It allows me to focus on NOW and not on a past or a future that I am only imagining. I thank God for my many, many blessings and for the love and support that circulates in my family. Namaste.
