What a horrible day. A day filled with unrealistic expectations, confrontations, anxiety, tears and pain..how I hate days like this. On top of everything, a coworker of mine had her home broken into and all her jewellery and electronics stolen - even family heirlooms. I hate hearing things like that. She was obviously devastated but so was I....on top of an unbelievably stressful workday I had this overwhelming empathy for her where I literally got sick thinking of how easily someone's life can be turned upside down and their sense of security violated.
This has happened to me many times before and it's always a horrible feeling but I find that when something happens to someone I care about, it hurts me more than if it had happened to me.
I supposed the only constant in the universe is that everything changes. That no matter how bad the situation or obstacle, it is always surmountable. I have proven this many times in my 30 years as I've moved forward after the worst possible situations. It's sad how we always forget how quickly things will change for us. When we're down, it's hard to remember that the situation is going to get better and when we're happy, it's hard to remember not to take it for granted because it's going to turn bad again. In every situation we have to be grateful for what we have and not worry so much about what we don't have because this too shall pass. If only I could remember that some days - I worry too much!
