“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” –Steve Maraboli
“Time doesn’t heal emotional pain, you need to learn to let go.” – Roy T. Bennett
“I realise there’s something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they’re experts at letting go.” –Jeffrey McDaniel
Life is exciting! Life is full of those “JOY” moments. Keeping our Spirit on alert to recognize and hug those moments close, is our task to learn. Life is so precious. Yes, there are challenges every single day. However, there are moments of JOY every single day. We determine our actions toward events in our life.
I have had many life changes since my husband died so much earlier than we both thought. For the last 4 ½ years it has been my “job” to learn to let go and learn to grasp a new reality. God is gentle and holds us through all changes. He opens the doors of new life experiences. Letting go of a relationship allows space for new adventures, different people, and additional love. Our heart expands and breathes deeper.
Lost Creek Bluebird is growing as well. I love that the Veteran’s service is growing. I love that in these growing services spouses are included at the same level of appreciation. God leads me continuously to recognize a focus at Lost Creek Bluebird that is less hectic than I had been able to visualize.
There are reasons I will not be offering counseling through Lost Creek Bluebird, and not the least of those reasons is God has helped me understand I have provided the amount of counseling (professionally) in my lifetime that He required. This leaves me and my Spirit to expand into more of those JOY moments and help others to define their JOY moments!
I love the quote above by Jeffrey McDaniel. Winter is a favorite season of mine. I see the bare landscape as a respite, a time to take stock and prepare for new growth. Quiet time. Very quiet time at Lost Creek Bluebird!
