"When Real Life Interrupts Our Routine, Seek Joy"
An Original Non-Fiction Story by Adele Cox (2007)
We seem ill-prepared for many of the "real life" events we are called to face. Marriage,
birth, death, menopause, taxes -- there are many rights of passage for human beings that
are best learned through experience. Unfortunately, there is no class we can take called
"How Best to Live through Life".
So, with virtually no "training" or preparation, we instead stumble into these "real life"
situations which turn "normal" and "routine" life inside-out. We try our best to navigate
our way through, hoping that next time we'll be wiser, and somehow it'll be easier.
In this story, I share my thoughts and experience brought on by the recent passing of a friend.
