Sometimes there isn’t a choice

Yesterday wasn't a good day. I misjudged a step, fell down and broke my thumb. When I got home from the emergency room, my sister called to tell me Aunt Lucille died. Sometimes, there isn't any choice but to accept whatever happens.
Well why do the hands of time
So easily unwind?
Some lessons we learn the hard way.
Some lessons don't come easy and
That's the price we have to pay.

Sometimes life’s a b*tch … Condolences for you and your family and I hope your thumb will be o.k. soon, too bad it’s your right hand
Love your strip, but I’d rather pee in my pants than sit down on such a dirty toilet 
A sad, sad day. But your thumb will heal and we can assume Aunt Lucille is in a better place. I think your strip is perfect for the day you had!
It’s only a few weeks since you mentioned Aunt Lucille’s liver cancer and now she’s gone. A card I bought and saved several years ago has a quote by Rabindranath Tagore, ‘Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come’.
I hope you’re feeling better soon.
I’m sorry about your aunt and your thumb, some days you just want to crawl in bed and take valium, pull the covers over your head
Sorry about your aunt. And I hope you get better soon, take care!
Congratulations for your original photographs !
Have a better day
To appreciate the finer things in life we must sometimes accept the bad days, sorry about your aunt and I hope that your thumb will be better soon!
I also have the flu (?) And I can not make the trip I had planned, next week things will be better!
Sorry to hear about your tough day. Hope things get better,
Tough call Sera
Keep on keeping on and heal soon
really sorry to hear about your aunt Sera *hugs*
It’s just one of those days, Sera. You take care.
Ya, these kind of days are following me all the time . HOw you feeling ? A Can you type . can you comb your hair ? I am so sorry to hear that . Sorry to hear for your ant too . Regards, Sera ! Take care !
Sorry for your loss, Sera. Things will get better.
I’m sorry, Seraphine. Love and Friendship to you. I can see here that there are many, many friends who care as I do!
So sorry to hear about that, time is a great healer. I hope it heals your thumb too.
That’s right,quite right! But I have to get more time to think of it…! Fantastic! Always admire your great mind to create meditation for me!
awww, sorry to hear about your pain and loss, Sera, but happy as ever to be one of those you share it with. there is healing in that, ya know?
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your auntie. I know you and your family will gracefully pull through this, and thanks for commenting on my site. Great designs you’ve got here!
I’m so sorry Seraphine….amazing how your strip today, suddenly took a whole new meaning..prayers for you and yours
I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt, Seraphine:( There’s something very true about your post, we all have to accept. I’s just a matter of how long time it will take to do so.
Hi Sera,
first of all, sorry for your loss!
Death is always a moment of pause to experience how fragile we are, but also an opportunity to reflect on “transitions” … I leave it at that for now.
Are you left handed (I hope not, that would suck) In any case, I hope you heal expedient. The good thing is, that it was the thumb. Other fingers don’t seem to heal 100% correctly due to the more complex array of bones. So you were lucky in a way… Soak the thumb in luke-warm water with added Arnica essence, or if you don’t have that – water with sea salt. It will take the edge away and also accelerate healing. Good luck!!!
Haven’t been on blogs and such for quite a while (including my own) just wasn’t up to it, nothing personal. I have hunch that I am gradually creeping back
I’m sorry for the loss of your aunt, and for your hand… but I agree, sometimes you just have to accept; no one ever really has any other choice, do they? Feel better
I’m sorry. Sometimes life just sucks.
Broken thumb, broken heart. Definitely not a good day. Sending you love and hugs.
That is a rough day! Sorry to hear about your Aunt Lucille! It will take time to heal from both, although I don’t think we ever heal from losing loved ones – the pain just gets a little bit less with time and we can move on with our normal daily routines.
You’re so right. Sometimes all you can do is accept what happens – the “whys?” just don’t matter and will never be answered.
So sorry to hear about your Aunt – I hope that at the end, the door did close quietly…
And sorry about your thumb.
Acceptance is often the only way to get through this Journey called Life, Seraphine, but it sounds like you already know that! I hope your thumb and your heart both heal soon.
I’m so sorry to hear that.
Life leave scars on us. It sucks.
Oh, Sera. I’m so sorry about your aunt. And your thumb. I’m hugging you in my heart.
Aunts are like grown-up sisters when we’re kids. Losing them is heartbreaking. So now you have a broken heart AND a broken thumb. it’s just wrong.
I am sorry to hear that. Seems so much bad news is going around the blog-o-sphere these days. Or maybe it just seems that way.
