Today has been an especially good day. I was grumpy all day. I know this sounds weird, but I have learned that when there is a storm there may be chaos and struggle, but when the storm passes the sky is even more clear and beautiful. I remember when I was in a tropical storm a few years ago. The storm knocked over trees and there was a ton of flooding, but the day after the storm the sky was the bluest and clearest I have ever seen. So when the outside looks like trouble, I hear inside my head, this too shall pass, and something good is on its way. I now recognize that even the things I don’t want turn out to be exactly what I need. A patient came in last week with concerns about her sick husband. She was crying and seemed to be lost in the “worst case scenario” thinking. She told me how a visit to the doctor uncovered a life-threatening problem in her husband, but because they found it early the problem was likely to be resolved fully.
