I've been thinking about something today that a friend brought to my attention earlier.
I use to think that-
1. bad things happen to bad people
2. bad things happen if you are doing something that "YOU KNOW" is wrong
3. bad things happen because of bad karma
I was reminded today and it got me thinking. I really do know that it is because bad things happen to everyone whether they are good or bad people. Whether they deserve it or not. Bad things happen to GREAT people all day long! We all know of a story.
And it's what you do with it. It's how you act afterwards...after the trial. It's what you turn it into. It' s all about your attitude.
And sometimes? Not all times. But sometimes I also think that some of us are the lucky ones that GET to have something bad happen...because of who it allows us to really become.
Thank you S for that update and for that great post.

yes, i agree with you.
i think you can tell a lot about a person by how they react to something bad that has happened in their life.
i could go on and on about this but i have to get ready for work.
You have an amazing attitude. I totally agree with you, however I am a little nervous to think how exactly I would react in a bad situation...
We can never know what the future holds right? I can never say that something won't happen to me because it absolutely can in a heartbeat!
Thanks for you insightful words!
I have always thought, bad things usually happen to very strong people, because they are the only ones that can handle it.
You have a great attitude and are still the feisty, strong willed Katie I have known for years.
I love hearing your deep thoughts, it always gets me thinking. :)
Thanks.
Isn't this a wonderful insight? I have only learned this lesson, just begun to scratch the surface of this understanding, as I've become an adult. Going through my own trials as an adult, I have begun to see that things I never would have wished on myself have shaped me into perhaps something stronger and more wise - a lesson I wouldn't have learned without the trial.
Very hard to see when you're in it, but that makes retrospection a gift. Keep on keeping it on, K.
Great entry :)
I needed that.
