I don’t know how to feel. It seems that a bit of 2024 has seeped into 2025.
I opened the door to see that maintenance are replanting the trees that were uprooted from the tornado.
You would think this would make me happy. Oddly, it has had the opposite effect. I am remembering before.
Before the tornado. Before the loss of my confidence. Before the loss of my job.
I sit here in my new normal and don’t feel normal. Not any more. Not since the tornado. I have been fighting for my equilibrium ever since.
Life went on without me. I’m trying to get up. Will I ever?
I fight to find me. On the daily. Slowly, me is coming out of hiding.
Life goes on. Doesn’t it?
Slowly. Life goes on. It does. It doesn’t go as we think it should. It goes as it goes. I am learning how to go with it.
Loss is hard. Loss doesn’t have to stay loss. We can make something amazing out of what’s left, can’t we?
I am choosing to get on with life, beloveds. THIS is what’s left. I shall make THIS into some fantastic THAT. What shall that be? I have NO idea. I’m looking forward to finding out!
tentatively hopeful,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: When life snatches the rug from under your feet, dance on whatever is underneath. Get back up. Then, keep looking UP.
I’m not saying things that are impossible. I have to do the impossible every day now. I HAVE to live among the never-ending rebuilding. This is a daily reminder of all that was lost. I take a break. I remind myself of all I still have.
I still have hope. I still have my dreams. I still have the opportunity to love folk and let them know everything WILL be alright.
Be encouraged, beloveds. Rest, as needed. Then, LIVE. NOW. Ask yourself what on earth are you waiting for and get on with it! Asking for A Friend.
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
