Good reminder

[Starrlight]

I believe I am exactly where I am supposed to be right now.

I feel comforted by this. All is well. There is no reason to worry or regret because I am perfectly in the now.

I know this is not always easy to be in the mindful moment and sometimes the moment sucks. But try to record, recall, look back on good times so there is hope for more good times ahead. More relief to come.

After every difficulty comes ease.

I was thinking of that friend. I was thinking of the absolutely horrible circumstances that brought me to this site. I was lamenting for how bad things were going and how I wasn't handling things too well myself right now. But, then I had an interesting thought. Without the horror and the turmoil that brought me here, I would never have met you. So, I too am right where I'm supposed to be. With you as my friend! My former counselor Moriah kept telling me we're all where we're supposed to be in God's great plan for us. She said the key was to make the most of our time by maximizing how much good we can do. I have done this as much as I can. After all, without my personal tragedy, I would have never met her either! But, it's overwhelming me now. I haven't decided what I want to do about it or why... Still, you and kenster1 took it upon yourselves to welcome me and mentor me in my early days on this site. I will always remember that too. You sent me a river of light and love, the likes of which I will never see again. I'll love you forever, no matter what I do, my beautiful, awesome friend named Starrlight.....

I'l always love you but, the rest of that may be a long shot. Thank you, though.

So mysterious... what do you mean? Believe in good things coming your way.

[JEG325 in reply to Starrlight]

At the moment, I'm a little short on belief (Except in you)

God, I love you, girl! Anymore love for my temporarily wounded heart?

By the way, I posted about my miserable day earlier. Please read?

Thanks so much for the reminder. It's especially hard to be calm when we are in chaos. But, if we can stop and think, we can understand why we are in this space. And we can learn from it. How did we get here, how do we calm the chaos, how do we leave?

Sometimes the lesson we learn is that the chaos is our doing. We may have not asked for help when we needed it. We may be depleting our mental and/or physical resources too fast. We may not have helped as much as we could/should have. We may not have understood the problem completely.

We tend to really beat ourselves up when this happens. But, we may be just where we should be to learn the lesson. Beating ourselves up won't calm the chaos, but learning so we don't make the same mistake again, will.

Hard to do, yes; but so worth it!
