Buddha
With yesterdays pain mellowing, the idea of celebrating the pain came to me. I think it was Oprah I first remember speaking about this, saying when in crisis say thank you.
I remember thinking that is just CRAZY! But I will share with you know that from my experience, it is quite a powerful experience. Appreciating a life challenge is a way to get a grip, to gain some semblance of control. When I express gratitude for a challenge, a pain, a difficulty I feel the shift in me becoming larger than the crisis at hand. I also am reminded that this too shall past, plus I have yet to have an experience in my life which was not in some way enriching. I simply try to get the lessons sooner so the crisis can move on out the door.
So, anyway, today it occurred to me to be thankful for the relationship relating pain I wrote about yesterday. I am reminded that I am alive. I am remembering that I will get value life learning from it. I am discovering the awesome beauty and power of recovery gained for being in love.
So, surely it can’t be all bad.
