How do you handle the storms in your life?

Sorry
I haven't been here in awhile. First we had Hurricane Gustav and then
came Ike. Ike was packing a hard punch for Texas. Since I am in Texas,
I can tell you ... it hasn't been fun. Ever just wanted to leap forward past a point that was stressful and painful? Well, that is exactly how I feel. I am so ready for some normalcy to return to my life. I know times like
these make people stronger, but it is sad people have to be brought
down to their knees before they realize how important LIFE really is.
And how much we all need each other. The choices we make today shape our tomorrows. Choosing the wrong way
can lead to destruction causing storms in our lives. Metaphorically
speaking, everyone faces storms....some face them better than others.
However, the truth is people create many storms in their lives. Storms
of their own creating create storms for others. Without sounding too preachy, I would want to leave on this
note....storms cannot always be prevented, but they certainly can be
overcome. How are you handling the storms in your life? It is okay to weather the
storms while leaning on someone and holding an anchor. The brighter
days are there....it is all in how you see the wind blowing the clouds
away. And as I breathe my sigh of relief after Hurricane Ike, I can
see the clouds begin to scatter, and I am so ready for a sunny day. Hugs 2 u! Teri

Your positive outlook is admirable.
It speaks volumes! I can't imagine how difficult it must've been during Ike.. but your optimistic attitude is applaudable. I heard it once before, "there is a blessing in the pressing" and during your pressing time, you overcame it as a more strong and inspirational woman who shares her stories that DO motivate others. God Bless you Teri!
Be Blessed & Bless Others,

Just by you sharing your story you made me realize it is possible to go through the storm, the key word being through, we will not make it far by standing in the storm, but going through will get us to our destination
Enjoy your weekend
I have found
that realization is perhaps the brightest ray of sunshine!

Storms Are Only For A Season
I hope this makes sense but, what I think help,s is to keep moving sometimes the storm is created by our choices or we are hit from the blind side but it would be wise to keep moving. And what ever falls are way do not hold on to anger, just like the weight that holds on to our body, anger is an added weight that will destroy us.
Do we have a right to be angry ? Yes but the weight of anger given time will bring on another added weight called bitterness.
Remember the storms of life are for a season and while they do cause damage through are tears and anger we changed and you know what ? Maybe just, maybe we can help others make it through their storms. Thanks so much for asking such an important question and reading my reply. It might sound cosmic but having been through storms myself it makes me realize that in life nothing is for sure and so while Iam here I try to encourage others and let them know they can make it.
My father used to say
without the bad times, you wouldn't recognize the good times and appreciate them.
That is so true.
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs 2 U!
