"If a man locks this saying into his very marrow and remembers, when he looks at other people's troubles, of which there is a bountiful supply daily, that they have an open road to him also, he will equip himself long before he is attacked.
It is too late to outfit a man for confronting danger after the danger has arrived.
"I never imagined this could happen." one hears, or "Could you have believed such a thing could come about?"
And why not?
Know, then, that every station in life is subject to change, and whatever has befallen anybody can befall you as well." Seneca
Good or bad, things happen. We are either ready for them or we are not. That is our choice.
I spent the weekend watching the disaster in the south unfold. It will be in the news for quite sometime. I also watched some races, saw a so-so Robert Taylor movie, did the laundry, stayed indoors for three beautiful days even though I had things to do outdoors and kept my little dog, Snickers, by my side.
If I had to leave I couldn't leave Snickers behind. People are refusing help in New Orleans because that help is not also extended to their pets. I don't blame them.
Back to work on Tuesday, in more ways then one.
God bless you all.
This is my 300th post.
