If one learns to adjust.

So, what else is new? To be truthful, I've had bouts of mental pain and anguish. All my life. They come and go. With sustained periods of happiness between. About time for me to recognize. That's the nature of life. Sure, it would be nice if life flowed smoothy. All of the time. But that's far too much to expect.  Or even to desire. Better to have ups and downs. Teaches one the art of acceptance. Maybe that's what I like most about life. The unpredictability.  Everything going smoothly. Then suddenly, an earthquake. One's world is shaken up. Mentally. Physically. Every which way. Much of it imagined. Because we humans tend to overreact. And expect the worst rather than the best. Another reason. To plod through life. Taking one's time. To analyze the situation. Invariably, the same conclusion. Life ain't so bad. If one learns to adjust. --Jim Broede
