“what is joy without sorrow? what
is success without failure? what is a win without a loss? what is health
without illness? you have to experience each if you are to appreciate the
other. there is always going to be suffering. it’s how you look at your suffering,
how you deal with it, that will define you.” ― Mark Twain
The past week has been very
difficult for me to navigate. Things have been very out of balance, very
overwhelming, and very hard to keep myself on course. I have been subject to
some highly stressful situations and at times wanted to scream, cry, and
disappear. Luckily I know how my cycle feels and I have different techniques to
help myself. I am able to work through, to stay the course. But what is the
cost? I want the world to pause for a minute. To let me catch my breath. I
considered a self-imposed time out from the world and this is always an option.
But how do I surrender to that? How do I do what needs to be. Knowing helps.
Talking to others helps. I have to remember to go into the woods, close my
eyes, breath, and be mindful…this too shall pass
