Once Upon A Time…….

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away. In a little state known as Iowa. There lived a family. This family lived in the middle of no where. They had to travel many miles to get supplies for the homestead.  If the weather was good they would get  mail delivered to them in a pick up truck with a flashing light on the top.

The Mother of this family had lots of health problems and had to travel far and  wide, often to see several doctors.  She would go from one doctor to the next.  In hopes of finding the one that would wave a magic wand and take away all her pain.

There were children of assorted ages that lived in this itty bitty house in the middle of no where.  5 children to be exact. Though this Mother had 6 children only 5 lived there. You see one of her children was in a land even further away, off fighting a war and making her very proud.

This family had some very beloved pets. Two dogs and one cat. When the Mother was feeling especially ill one of the dogs and the cat would stay next to her to keep an eye on her.

While these children knew how ill their mother was they never wanted to help out with the chores.  They were always to tired, or it’s not their mess.  This made the Mother very, very frustrated.

Then one day the Mother had an enlightenment. While this didn’t get the chores done and it certainly didn’t take the pain away. It made her realize that life is what you make it.  She could sit at home and say oh woe as me. Or she could smile and realize that there others so much worse off. That even though what she was going through was bad, there was a reason she was chosen to go through it. 

She knew that one day she would be able to help others deal with their own health issues. That all she had to do was open herself up and Goddess would be there for her with her hand outstretched.

There is no end to this story as with life and even death there is always just new beginnings and new paths to take.
