Facing a new reality

This CHOOSEDAY, and also yesterday’s Monday motivation, is inspired by some good friends of mine. It isn’t about resilience.  It isn’t about courage. It isn’t about overcoming adversity. It’s about all of those things and so much more. When something tragic happens to us it rocks our world. Sometimes we don’t even know which way is up. We don’t know how to move forward we don’t even know what our own name is some days. We are changed forever more and we are faced with a brand new reality. But, although what has changed us matters,  what doesn’t matter is that we are changed, because change is inevitable. What matters is how we face that change and live our new reality. Little by little, step-by-step, minute by minute, day by day, week by week, we eventually start to be able to accept our new reality. We find the right people who can support us. We might find people who have been through the same thing and who understand. We might find people who have no idea or can even begin to contemplate what we’ve been through, but somehow they still support us as we move forward. All of this however, takes extreme courage, strength and resilience. But as I have witnessed in my friends, and many others, it is possible to begin to thrive in your new reality. The hardest thing is to reach out, but that is also the most important thing. Because no matter what your new reality becomes, hope and healing is there, so grab them with both hands!! 🐉💚
