There are always disappointments, things left undone or some circumstance that is just not fair.
It’s hard to be a grown-up.
Today I am choosing thanksgiving. I am carving out peace instead of longing and pain. Accentuating the positive may not eliminate the negative, but sometimes it makes the days easier to bear.
This life magnified with its intense pain and ineffable joys may sometimes feel like a roller coaster, but it’s mine. Trying to learn to stop fighting and go with it.
Good for you. Sometimes voicing it helps also, like you just did. Bless you today, in choosing to be thankful.
thank you, kristen. your simple and pointed words were ones i needed to hear today…
