Blessings

[kellymomcars]

So many of y'all are suffering so much lately. This disease is relentless -- not just the pain, but the physical and mental fatigue is indescribable some days. We feel sometimes that our spouses, partners, co-workers and doctors just can't or won't understand.

We feel like we are just being "Debby Downer" all the time with our friends and families, and maybe just a little too whiny with our Doctors. The burden of taking on guilt for the way we feel is just the icing on the cake. It's hard to stay positive, isn't it?

But, I woke up this morning wanting to share a blessing.

My oldest son got married in April to the most genuinely kind lady I have ever met in my life. And, blessings to me, she and I have the most appreciative relationship. Just before the wedding, when the planning got to be too much, I sent her a mantra I wrote for her:

I will Feel Joy, because it is my choice

I will Let Go, because it is my choice

I will Embrace Gods Beauty, because it is my choice

I will Accept Love, because it is my choice

I was in the process of writing this, when a new customer walked into our shop (my husband and I own an automotive repair shop). I like to talk to new people, and in getting to know him, he shared this with me:

"I believe that we are blessed to be a blessing. What does that mean? It means that we have to understand the power of an open hand and be humble enough to consider our fellow man, realizing, but for the grace of God, I could be in a similar circumstance."

Much love to all of you beautiful people today. May those of you in pain and doubt have a better day today.

Hi Kellymomcars, the picture you posted is beautiful and calming. Wish I could find a faith but that is something I have struggled with due to various unpleasant past issues but I have read the mantra and now copied it into a word document. Thank you.

Thank you Kelly. Sometimes we need to take stock! People on this site are a blessing as whenever you write someone kind responds. I hope you and your family receive many blessings this weekend 💐
