Sometimes life gives us no choice but to prove how strong we are. But other times we deliberately seek out challenge, proving to ourselves and others that we are tougher and more capable than we could have known otherwise.
How do you choose to challenge yourself?
“As wave is driven by wave
And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead,
So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows,
Always, forever and new. What was before
Is left behind; what never was is now;
And every passing moment is renewed.”
― Ovid
What are you glad to have left behind you?
Not everything broken can be repaired, and not every loss can be replaced. We go on, cleaning up the mess that loss leaves behind as best we can, but we also need time and space for mourning.
What loss are you mourning?
“I can hardly wait for tomorrow, it means a new life for me each and every day.”
― Stanley Kunitz
What is your hope for tomorrow?
Our bodies have an amazing ability to heal, to renew what has been damaged. But often that ability depends on protection, from a bandage to a place of quiet and rest, in order to give healing a chance.
What are you protecting so that it can heal?
