I am in a space right now that is sprinkled with unknowns. A family member has entered hospice while our youngest son is on the hunt for a job. Lots of change, transition,and being in a place of acceptance is key. I don’t have to like it, but it allows me to just embrace the place that I am currently residing.
Through it all, I have these angels – my soul sisters- who are in constant contact. They root me and help me gain perspective as we walk through the uncertainty. It is nothing more than a text. These texts range from asking how things are going to funny videos that make me laugh. When things are heavy, it is sometimes difficult to see the humor, but these ladies help lighten the darkness that sometimes hovers during the grieving process.
It reminds me that I need to stay connected to the people in my life. It reminds me how important those connections are and that I am more mindful now than ever. These constant check-ins link me to others. They confirm that I never do life alone.
With our current climate, investing in our relationships is vital. We need each other. It is all about taking the time to really connect and be mindful of what others are going through.
When you invest in relationships, the payoff is huge. I know who has my back. I know who I can call in the middle of the night and they will answer. Knowing who you can count on can also eliminate unrealistic expectations of others. Some people are not capable of investing fully. That’s okay. The important aspect to consider is never settling for less than you are worth.
