Grateful for the light

Today I am grateful to see some light at the end of the tunnel.  My life felt so dark after my husband’s death last September 6.  I am finally feeling like life will go on and be okay.   I know I will still have my hard days but at least I feel some positive vibes in my life again.

    Thank you for opening your heart and sharing.

    1. Thank you very much Barry. It is hard after having someone in my life for just over half my life. I have the memories though and no one can take them away. I appreciate your support.

    Dealing with grief can feel overwhelming. Here are some of my favorite outlets I’ve discovered to help me find the good in everyday-it’s always there when you know where to look.

    Laughter. I’m so blessed to have amazing friends and family to help me through everything
    Music. For any mood, any time
    Art. Zentangles are terrific (thank you Carol Bailey Floyd) and I’ve recently discovered I LOVE to paint. Who knew?
    Crocheting. Very meditative
    Cooking. Also meditative, plus you get to eat at the end, yay!
    Visits. Something to look forward to is so motivating
    Helping others. Sometimes it’s easier to help others in small ways than figure out what to do to help yourself
    Louise Hay’s audio CDs
    Aromatherapy
    Exercise. Getting just a little sunlight everyday is so healing
    Wishing you the perfect medicine to heal you right now
