HJFinAZ: Some of the experiences we go through are hard. We get heavy at times. When it's too difficult to keep swimming, float.
Action:
What's more irritating than someone condescendingly telling you to smile when you feel glum? Feel all your feelings. Don't let anyone tell you they're wrong.
"I reached in my pocket today and found joy, happiness, success and gratitude," a friend said one day when he called. At first I didn't know what he was talking about. Then I remembered. Awhile back, when he was going through a difficult time, I had given him four little stones, each one painted with one of those words.
It's important to believe in tomorrow. But give yourself the gift that keeps on giving. Believe in today.
Treading water right now, myself...and floating when that gets too hard.
I love the stones idea...I carry different crystals at times for help with things I need, and keep different ones in different parts of my home, just to be able to reach out and touch when I need them, or as reminders of the energy they stand for in addition to them emitting those energies in my home.
Thank you, Pat, for this reminder of perspective and hope.
