Our country went to bed last night after a day of horror and we all woke up to learn of more horror. This blog post will fade into the past only to possibly be read again in the future sometime, somewhere, by someone and I will not name here what the two, er three, horrifying events were of this particular week.
It's awful. It's horrible. And I have no words to describe my rage, sadness, and frustration. I start to feel helpless, like I can't do anything to change it, and that I can't live in a society like this.
But if there's one thing I learned from infertility it's that I Can.
When I am faced with the unfathomable, I know I can survive.
When nothing makes sense and everything hurts, I know I can keep going.
When the world overwhelms me and things seem meaningless, I know I can make a positive difference in my little spot.
A joke with a stressed cashier here, holding a door open for someone with their hands full there, I can keep showing up in life. I can find joy in the little things. I can be there for others.
I can. You can. We can.
I love this empowering post in a time of fear and disbelief that this just. Keeps. Happening. Thank you for being a light in a dark time!
ReplyDeleteSending love! I know how a similar event devastated our country. I don't know how it must feel to have so many horrifying events week in week out. Sending love.
