Each day, I found something that I genuinely was grateful to see, to hear, or to have near me in my life. It went a very long way towards easing not only the burden of pain, but also the inevitable selfish introspection that can overwhelm anyone and cause a sort of blindness to the acts of love, decency, and courage that happen every day. More than anything, I was able to step back, look into God's heaven and realize what a tiny speck I am in this great creation, and that no matter how overwhelmed I feel, I can always look up, take a cleansing breath, and thank God for another day. You can do this, too. You know how; just make the conscious effort. I sounds trite, but it's not. It is powerful healing.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304604317029441946noreply@blogger.com
