I don’t know about
you, but some days it feels like we’re all on an out-of-control roller-coaster!
Events around the
world are enough to make you wonder if there are any sane leaders left.
The ever-increasing
cost of living makes you wonder how much higher it can (or will) go up, and how
long before we just can’t afford to pay our bills.
If you have health
concerns, besides COVID still lingering around, then you are probably wondering
when things will settle back down, and when/if you’ll ever feel better.
It is said that the
only true constant in this world is change, and we are certainly seeing a
We can only keep
breathing, keep putting one foot in front of the other, and keep being kind to
those around us - because we’re all facing change, no matter how well (or not) we
are handling it.
I was reminded of a
quote recently that goes something along the lines of: when everything is
falling apart in your world, it’s because something new and better is being
birthed.
I know (believe me,
I know!) it’s hard to believe that something better is coming when you feel
like your stuck deep in the midst of the chaos and confusion, but the chaos
never lasts. Life goes in cycles, so if
you can just hold on and remember that “this too shall pass,” it will be easier
to handle whatever life throws at you.
We’ve been through a lot in the past 2 years in particular, and we’ll be faced with more in the future - life cycles - but everything we go through makes us more resilient, and better able to handle the next situation we are faced with. Keep breathing and keep smiling!
