@ Talon — Thank you for your comment and for your nice words about my photos. I can’t say enough about Switzerland and I’m pleased that your daughter got to visit. It doesn’t surprise that she liked Interlaken; it’s both a beautiful and exciting city.

My father could be a wonderful teacher. He taught me to love and respect the outdoors…all aspects of it. The biggest emotional storm I ever survived was his death when I was sixteen. I treasure all his lessons about life:~)

@ Davina — Thanks about the photo. I picked it because it’s kind of hard to tell whether you’re entering the storm or coming out it. As you love storms, perhaps your secret is that you know they always end and so you’re comfortable riding them out:~)

@ Laurie — Writing down your options and the pros and cons is a great idea for dealing with a life storm. It may not calm the waters around you, but as you said, it can calm your mind, which will help you deal with the storm. I’m glad you enjoyed the post:~)

@ Paisley — So true…the unexpected storms are the hardest and focusing on what you can accomplish, even when you feel overwhelmed is a great approach. I also have a great respect for the sea (in my case it’s the Gulf of Mexico). Unfortunately, for me it’s about a two hour drive and so I envy you:~)

By the way, I like the your site and the way you write very much!

@ Everyone who recently commented — I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. My site decided to take a brief unexpected vacation. I guess it realized I was out of town and therefore, it could go it’s merry way:~)

Thanks to Kathy Henderson Hurd, it only escaped for a short while and is now back up and very apologetic!

Sara, I'm really enjoying your blog. The photos are gorgeous! My daughter was in Switzerland a year ago and just loved it and Interlaken in particular. Your father was a wise man and obviously a great role model. Sometimes it's so hard to remember that the storm will pass - some storms seem larger than life itself - especially the emotional ones.

Hi Sara. Great photo you've chosen for this post. Strange, but I find myself drawn to be IN that picture. Weird huh? I love storms, always have. Metaphorically speaking I haven't given much thought to what I do to get through life's storms. I guess I decide whether it is a storm I have to deal with, and if it is I just do what I have to do to get through it. Davinas last blog post..Mindful Melancholy
