Day 2 - 223 -- Dealing with Unpleasant News

Have you ever observed how life can be so random, yet feel so unfair? As people go ticking along doing reasonably well, something zooms in from nowhere without any notice? How many of these should a lifetime hold? For some people, the surprises seem unrelenting. They look insurmountable. How do people find their way through the onslaught? When do they say enough is enough?

Today two very wonderful news pieces about others arrived, yet the day ended with something crushing -- the kind of news that makes appetite disappear and leaves one feeling attacked for no good reason. I suspect that with time this may improve -- we'll see. In the meantime, life moves forward.

Finding a song that fits these feelings was challenging. I heard a few lines in my head, but the rest of the song did not fit well. Several that we have used before in this blog would fit again today, such as The Beatles 'Help!' (Day 2-137). One line from another song  -- 'too many tears for one heart to be crying' seemed fitting, yet the rest of the song is about revenge -- so not anything like my situation today. I will, though, share this just for the chorus -- where the song actually begins. The second is what I want to hear from someone right now -- sort of the same concept as Help! <smile>.  The first is by an oddly named group and the second is a Canadian songstress. Enjoy! 

And - Please don't worry -- it is nothing terminal just semi-devastating situation. Any thoughts, prayers, vibes etc. will be accepted.
