No, Shit happens.

No. Bad things just happen. Sometimes we act/do in ways that allow them to happen and/or increases our chances they will happen. We need to watch out for that.

I always try to have that kind of positive thinking. Just recently I dropped my second full-time job because it had been causing me sleeplessness and headaches. But a week or two after, I finally got to convince a professor to be my adviser for my thesis! I thought: "Wow, maybe I had to let go of that job, so that I could finally start working on my thesis again, and earn that elusive master's degree that I've always wanted."

Oh yeah... Everything bad that has happened to me has been for a good reason. The time I got plowed between the shoulder blades with an 80 mile an hour apple? ... It was because I spit on my cousin. The time I fell 3 stories onto a scrap pile of lumber?... The good reason was that I disconnected my safety line. The last time I slammed a toboggan into a Ford LTD??? The good reason was that I slid it off of a viaduct and out into traffic. Mostly, the good reason bad things happen to me, is because I'm not all that bright, and do things without thinking. The worst thing that ever happened to me, was that I married my ex wife. But in this situation it is reversed. The worst thing thing that ever happened to me, brought me the best thing that ever happened to me... My children. Who are just as big a dumbass as I was... Pardon me while I coax a lad off the barn roof. I knew something was up when he went outside with his rollerskates.

Every thing happens for a reason.That's what I believe. I do not believe in coincidences.

Yes, so you can really appreciate it when the good things happen.

I used to believe everything happened for a reason. Now I'm not so sure. Sometimes you have to wait and look back on something to see that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Yes, I do. We all make choices that determine where our life journey takes us. Some of those choices are how we react to the bad things that happen to us. Since my child died 20 years ago, I have chosen to take the bad things and make sure that something good comes of them. With my child's death came my ability to be honored with the memories of other parent's children who have died and help them through the process. This is only one example of how this has worked in my life.
