Our Healing Journey
Old stone wall in the woods – human perseverance under demanding conditions
One of my motivations for doing this blog is to sort through my emotions over the past year. I understand this is not unusual. This year has been about healing for me. Through meditation and forgiveness, my life has become joyful again.
Then my husband began his healing journey. Together, we have been reviewing the karma of our lives and the directions that we would like to go. It is interesting how life circumstances can give pause and ask us to reevaluate and reprioritize how we spend our time, how we think our thoughts, how we feel inside and out. Yet, this year of healing has also been such a gift. The gift of really examining our lives and redefining what we like and want for ourselves. And it has been the gift of reaffirming gratitude and recognizing abundance in our lives.
After several years of not flowering these red day lilies were a complete surprise!
We live in a most beautiful place. On so many different levels. Our home is comfortable and shows the influence of both myself and my husband. Our small town community is full of people who are genuine and caring. We live in a progressive State that has identified our environment, our health, and our food and water systems as critically important. I am appreciative of and agree with that thought process. And we live in a world that offers amazing technological advances, comfort, diversity and opportunity. Our children are grown and independent and successful and loving. We are very lucky to be living in a state of mind that embraces their successes and we are deeply proud and honored that they are where they are in their lives.
taking the road less traveled
I am fortunate to have a solid state of mind even after experiencing betrayal and loss. The idea of stability for our future has been rocked by several life altering events. My work life shifted dramatically earlier this year. The loss related to that is still haunting me many months later. A motorcycle accident altered the summer for my husband and led to a life close to home. Both of us healing from the outside influences of living. And both of us growing from the experience.
With gratitude,
Patricia
