Think about something really important that happened to you this week, and tell us about it.

<strong> In the face of several family crises at once</strong>, where I found myself literally running and doing as much and as fast as I could to take care of two people in crisis, <strong> here's the important thing that happened</strong>: I remembered that God (or the great spirit or nature or whatever, call it life - I'm still unsure) well I remembered,<strong> I found out (again) that just because I think I'm old enought to be done with major troubles in my life, I'm not. </strong>There's things I need to learn, and I am being called to rise to occasions I thought I'd never have to again face, or am facing for the first time ever. <strong> No one has died, or been seriously injured. The crises and changes may ultimately lead to progress and new understandings. Or maybe not, and I'll have to accept that new reality.</strong> So ok. I do have support, loving husband, and family and friends. I'm safe, most of my relatives are safe and healthy. It could be much worse, but as a friend said recently, its not "the pain Olympics," meaning who had the most pain to go through "wins" the prize for most stressed. Also I remember another friend who said that I don't have to dismiss what I'm going thru just because others have it so much worse. Yes, count my blessings. Ok. But it's also ok to understand that a whole lot is being asked of me right now.
