Mike,

You certainly have had YOUR fair share of difficulties. That is for sure!

I was sitting in a meeting one time (a very long time ago) and there was this person there that was having a terrible week; There were a LOT of things going wrong in their personal life, and also in their career. That person what asking "Why? Why? Why?" Then, someone in the room said: "Why not?" I was a little shocked to hear that; I thought it sounded rather cold and uncaring! But, then the "smart aleck" went on to explain that we have good days and we have bad days. There were about 20 people in the room that day, and she pointed out that "We can't ALL have good days on the same day. One of us had to take a turn in the barrel!" She said "Just hang in there because someday the troubles will pass and then it will be someone else's turn."

Our Higher Power "allows" for us to be tested. Our Higher Power wants us to ask for help in seeing this through without hurting ourselves in the process.

Keep writing if it helps. I know it always helps me!
