I’m finding that as life ebbs and flows around me, presenting me with new chapters and changes, I struggle with maintaining a perspective that serves me and my happiness. My son moving off to college among other things has me more aware lately of how life’s changes bring with them the opportunity to for me to learn more about myself if I allow it.
There are all kinds of fears and doubts about what the future might or might not hold for me and my family. The old habits of worry as well as that nagging not so helpful voice that whispers in my ear. If I give into these I become very sad and miserable. Even knowing this I’m human and have to remind myself that I don’t know what the future holds and the only control I have is in the here and now. When the feelings of worry and sadness come I acknowledge them and do my best to let them flow through and past. Knowing, that to hang on to them will only drag me down. I reach out for help when I need it and help others to get outside of myself and keep me from staying in my head too much.
I post these type of things in hopes that whom ever reads my blog can find encouragement, help or comfort in what ever they are going through. Living my life out loud is not the most comfortable thing to do but if it benefits even one person then it is worth it.
Yours,
Kay Ray
