Be There

I have a very close friend getting a biopsy this morning.  She is a love.  I want her to not have to go through this stressful, painful time.

Life gets us in unexpected positions all the time.  But, when it's a loved one, anger flares up in our minds and "It's NOT fair" seems to become a flashing neon light.

There are a lot of things we have no control over.  We have to deal with them as they come.

I'm sharing this article from U of M Health because this is something we might have some leverage on if we act instead of double-guessing our instincts.

We might be the person to rush and defend another human being on our commute, on a train.  We might be called to rescue immigrants drowning in the ocean.  It may be as simple as keeping our door open to someone who needs a good listener.  But we can only be there if we take care of ourselves.
