Ever wonder WHY?

Do you ever wonder WHY? I know I certainly do.

This morning I am sitting here looking at all the
tax information I still have to compile for the
April 15th deadline. WHY did I wait to the last
minute to get this done. My mind races to the events
over the past several months. My 84 year old Mom forgot to turn
the water off in her bathroom and flooded her side of
our home... WHY?. Four days ago my Mom fell while
trying to put on her pjs.... WHY??

As you can tell I don't have the answers to my own
questions. But I do believe that all things work
together for the good. I can't tell you WHY my hair
fell out, or WHY I was a sick child, or WHY it is so
hard for me to lose weight. I can only believe that
without these things happening in my life I would not
be the "me" I am today.

The challenges we face, the twists and turns in the roads
we are on, the "way things are", somehow end up getting
us right where we are supposed to be.

I challenge you today to look at your hair loss as a
blessing. Yes... a blessing. I know it will not be easy.
But what IF because of the very thing you dislike at this moment
you are able to do something you never thought possible. Or you
are able to meet someone you never thought you would meet.

The possibilities are endless. The day is young. We are each where
we are supposed to be.... hair or not.

My challenge to myself and to you today is to see if
we can simply be who we are ..in peace... with happiness...
with joy.... bringing a smile to the face of someone
else going through a major challenge.

I know I don't have to have the answers. I simply choose to be willing
to be willing .. to change, to grow, to be flexible, to be open,
to be real all the while being true to myself.

You are fine just the way you are. You are where you are supposed
to be!! There is hope!

to Hair. Hope. Healing
