Today Is A Good Day For A Good Day!
I saw this quote this week, and it really spoke to me. With so much sadness in the world - suicide, senseless deaths overseas and at home, a devastating virus, loved ones lost in car accidents - It almost feels like there is no room for anything but despair.
I know grief, and there is definitely a time for grieving. It is one of the things that makes us human. In my own life, I have found when you lose someone very dear to you - there really is no end to grieving. Deep Love = Deep Grief. And yet, after a long while, you just learn to live differently. I think that is why this statement means so much to me, because it is a reminder that even in the midst of the sadness and loss - it is OK to give or take permission to have a Good Day. My loss will not be less over time (that is such a lie - don't believe it), but it does not have to have victory over me.
What about you?
Are you in need of permission to have a Good Day?
Please do, my dear reader.
Today IS a Good Day For A Good Day!
The picture above was taken by my lovely husband in Eureka Springs, AR. I saw the gate and was immediately drawn to it. It is old and weathered and worn, but it is still standing looking gorgeous. I love how welcoming it is to a soul, as if it is saying, "Come venture past the weeds and the shadows - do you see that beautiful day just ahead? It is all yours
to enjoy."
