7.16.16 We might all just make lemonade

t's so easy for us to grow up with unreasonable expectations of what 'life' 'should' 
deliver unto us; sometimes the more entitled our upbringing , the more strident
 our insistence. Unless something tough takes us down early enough, that any old day 
is truly good enough. 
One of mine had a TBI at age 6. Consequent learning problems , pain, seizures. It took many years of accessing naturopathic treatments to avoid a life of hard-for-you meds, and pain and seizures, which we gradually eliminated.
But I watched as that experience of such pain and vulnerability changed them forever . Deepened them. Transformed normal kid type expectation.
Course, I'm not certain what it would have been like without all the specialists and 
tests and struggles. I'm stunned with gratitude for all the brilliant practitioners who do what the world knows nothing about, who enabled so much healing and regained ability .
But I say this because I watched them roil in the little-kid-suffering storm. Knowing 
they would never be the same again. Knowing enormous new capacities were developing. Knowing that, with some solid support, we might all just make lemonade.
