We made the decision yesterday to delay our plans of heading south for the winter, and I’m grateful.🙏🏽 The peace I have about the decision far outweighs any disappointment I might have felt—and actually, there was little.🙏🏽 And actually, the decision was an easy one to make because it was the right thing to do. I’m grateful for easy.🙏🏽
Mental illness is a taboo subject that is hard for most people to discuss, but it shouldn’t be. An illness is an illness. I guess it’s easy for me to talk about because of my own issues.🙃 Recovery has taught me much.🙏🏽
Self-destructive behavior is a mental illness and witnessing it in someone we love is very frightening. And confusing. And very, very maddening. Facing facts, rather than turning a blind eye, takes a lot of courage. And surrender. And humility.
I’m grateful when the elephant in the room gets so big that it can no longer be ignored.🙏🏽 I’m grateful to know others have walked this road before, and that there is help.🙏🏽 I’m grateful there is hope.🙏🏽
Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life. ~ Rumi
