Island Greetings,
DESTINATION: UPLIFTING JOY
Yesterday was a day by the sea to bask in the warm sunshine, take a walk with a sweet friend, enjoy my favorite foods, soak in our seaside hot tub, enjoy a stunning sunset with a smile and a dance with my wonderful husband and our lovable labrador, Autumn.
A day such as this one brought many instances to contemplate gratitude for the love, blessings and beauty in my life. It was one of those days as a grieving mom that is an emotionally uplifting experience to acknowledge as I struggle with the feelings of loss as Mother’s Day is approaching this month.
I feel the loss intensely as my second Mother’s Day without my daughter and many years without my first daughter is nearing. I allow the feelings to flow yet I also allow myself to experience the joy and goodness in the moment while letting those feelings permeate throughout my energy to carry me through this pain once again.
What experiences bring joy and goodness to your life when you are grieving? What provides uplifting enjoyment … food, nature, adventure, friendship, creativity? I truly hope you enjoy life’s colorful moments every chance you get.
Blessings,
Nancy
