Happy Thanksgiving Memories

Woke up with heaviness in my heart and stomach I guess the holidays are getting to me. As we get older we lose more and more people and the family’s getting small. I have some great memories of all the past holidays sitting and laughing and telling stories making jokes laughing with joy and celebration. I asked God to fill me with hope and connection so I don’t have to feel so heavy today. I take some deep breaths and breathe in your love and surrender to my feelings and let them go in your light. All struggle passes when I allow myself to go through what I need to and be present to what these emotions are telling me. I’m always guided back to your presence. Your light fills me with strength to face any darkness and demons that may haunt me into my past behaviors and thoughts. I remember to focus on what I have instead of what I don’t so I can stay in this place of gratitude of for how far I’ve come. It isn’t always easy to face the truth but it is worth it in the end. I rest my head every night in gratitude for another day clean and lived with integrity. My dreams are coming true everyday because I do the work that keeps me in the action phase of living my best life. It’s okay to take a break and just be with all these feelings and emotions that no longer have to run my life but help me get better because I listen to what they have to tell me. They tell me where to go and how to live and where to let go. It is in your loving grace and mercy that teaches me. This being you are granted me the peace so I can love others more deeply and freely. I understand we all are going through something to help us learn and grow up one day and moment at a time.
