What will this year bring? It is a mystery isn't it? Are you excited about what will come next, or do you care? Does it make you anxious, excited, worried, eager to see what will come next?
It all depends on your perspective. Have you had hard times so you are a bit jaded? Or maybe all is wonderful & you are looking forward to the future. We all struggle at some point in our lives with something it is how we look at it. I am finding that at times I have a real hard time with my perspective.
Fo instance, since I finished my chemotherapy & radiation I have been struggling with my self image more than ever. I have people tell me I am looking great but I see what the chemotherapy has done to me & I hurt for the person I was. I am struggling with being ok with the person I am now. I am on hormone therapy so that is affecting me & I struggle with giving myself the grace to not be what I once was & who I am becoming!
I am excited about my future. Learning not to be so hard on myself, trying to see who I am now is hard!! I am glad that I only have today. Today I can learn, learn more about me, you & the people around me!!
Love you Marnie! You are a BEAUTIFUL PERSON!! I am so blessed to have you in my life! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour words speak to my heart Marnie, I have not traveled your road, however perspective is for me also a challenge. I recently found this quote and have it posted on my computer desktop so as to remind me daily, I am human and that is ok.
ReplyDeleteCourage does not always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."
Love you, Paula
