Great piece. I've been there and am still there from time to time as I try to shape a new life that will allow my body to heal from all it has been through. It's easy to fall into black-and-white thinking when things don't go "exactly right." And these days, it seems absolutely nothing is going exactly right, so it really is time for a new awareness and a fresh approach. Thank you :)
Thank YOU for reading and for sharing your feelings. I hope others will feel increasingly comfortable about discussing these issues. To that end, your comment definitely helps. Wishing you well.
So many good points in here Christine---where to begin? I love the way you not only walk us through the many epiphanies you experienced as one chapter in your life was ending as well as how you learned to reframe your understanding of it, but then connect it to the way our President preys upon the same very human tendency to succumb to victimhood when we lose our way and feel resourceless, to then pit us against each other. We have all at some point in our lives thought we would be broken by the hardships traverse as part of being human---thanks for reminding us that while its not easy, we always have a choice how we respond and that in our darkest moments transformation is beckoning, if we choose to reframe our thinking.
Very well explained. Thank you.
