Streams of Consciousness

I was all set to start arguing with the universe, to ask why again, why now, why why why, but then I thought about it.  There comes a time when you have to stop railing at the fates and start accepting.  You have to play the hand you're dealt.  Make do with what you have.  Anger and resentment only get you so far, and then you're stuck with it, having wasted too much time in the process.  It's always been so hard for me to get on with things after having to face an emotional challenge.  Having to reorganize my thinking, processing the new order of things has always taken too long, made it that much more difficult the next time, doubling or tripling the agony.  I have to get a grip, and realize that yes, it will happen again, but that it's going to happen and there isn't anything I can do about it.  It's the way of the universe, the way things are.
