"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass . . . it's learning to dance in the rain." --Vivian Greene

I have been waiting and waiting for my storm to pass.  The past years have been filled with many personal challenges and sadness.    When I think about how I have faced these challenges, I am still unable to fully comprehend exactly what I have been going through.

While these past years have been very difficult and the storm does not seem to be passing any time soon, I am hopeful that I am a better person because of these experiences.  I have been forced out of my comfort zone.  As a result, I am beginning to realize just how strong a person I am becoming.

There have been many, many times when I thought that the storm was starting to ease and possibly even pass.   I was wrong all of those times.  I have stopped looking for the storm to pass.  I am hopeful that I am learning to dance in the rain.
