I am sitting here listening to the thunder, knowing the rain will hit at any moment. Here in rural North Carolina we experience storms, be it a pop up summer storms, tropical storms, hurricanes, ice storms etc. It doesn't matter when it hits, we just clean up and move on. What a shame we can't get hit by personal storms, pick-up the pieces and move on in the same way. Sometimes we suffer because of the actions of loved ones ; I'm thinking of drugs, theft, and watching them get caught "under the circumstances". How often do you just want to give them a "shake", telling them to snap out of it. Just remember you are powerless to change others. Pick up YOUR pieces, put them back together and move on.
