I recently listened to a podcast from a woman with a powerful story.

At a relatively young age (and with young children at home) she developed a rare disease and went blind within a couple of months.

A year or two later her husband developed cancer and passed away.

She said someone asked her if she had asked “Why me?”. She explained that instead she had asked herself “Why not me?” She said that she wasn’t any better or worse than anyone else and that what happened had happened.

Wow.

I don’t know about you, but I would have a hard time being that mature in her situation. Her speech really challenged me to be thankful for what I have and to be more mature about what happened in my life.

But after thinking about it a little, I came up with a positive spin on it.

“Why not me?” works both ways.

When you look at all the good that is possible in life, think “Why not me?”.

Make it a great day.
