GratitudeLog

Dear, dear Christina...I too send you love and energy....I can't begin to know what you're going through or what you are feeling, but first and foremost, know that we all here appreciate you so! And I'm not saying that we appreciate and adore you because you are cheerful and uplifting. I am saying that I for one adore you because you are YOU!! (And to me, no offense to your surroundings or to your day to day happenings, but you are SO MUCH MORE THAN these things that populate your day!) So even if you feel like your life is falling to pieces, I feel such knowing based on all that you share with us that you....YOU...are anything but broken or in need of fixing....I can say with total conviction that when I read your posts, the soul that shines forth does so with such splendor and such magnificence and such generosity that it positively radiates from the page! Again, I don't mean that ONLY when you are positively focused are you radiant... part of the splendor of all that is you is because of the depth of your soul and your wisdom... I firmly believe that for some of us we actually truly reach our full potential BECAUSE we have experienced times where (yes) we feel such fatigue that we just want it all to stop...and we often act like kids in the back seat of the car during an oh-so-long road trip saying over and over "Are we there yet??".....however, as much as I would like to move beyond those moments, as I look back upon my own life, I see the beauty in even those times....for in the tears, I sometimes accomplish a release that suddenly allows a window to open and through that window arrives a gust of wind...and that gust of wind is often the beam of energy that lifts me up and carries me up closer to my dreams and to an even greater potential... Christina, with total love in my heart, I would say that if you are feeling beaten and tired of putting on a happy face, allow us to share our own eyes with you. Borrow us to see yourself as we would see you---full of promise and potential.....vital and growing....with so many remarkable chapters ahead in your story that we can barely wait to see how they will unfold.... allow yourself the freedom from worry and allow us, your Gratlog friends, to carry the load for a while... focus on remembering all that you are and all that you are yet to come... and yes, perhaps breathe knowing that the most sparkling weather usually follows the storm....be gentle with yourself.... know that you are loved and respected--and yes, loved for all of the HUMANESS that is totally and completely and uniquely you. Times change....things change (usually for the best), but ALL THAT YOU ARE BLOSSOMS AND BLOSSOMS INTO AN ETERNAL TREE OF LIFE.... Be calm in knowing that you are loved and that you are so on the right path....The moment is already looking brighter....Borrow our eyes because I KNOW that you will be able to see it... hugs!
