Earlier
this week I described my life as being in the middle of a “beam up;” that
Scotty had started the process of beaming me up and I hadn’t been put back
together molecularly. I feel as though
all of the elements are there floating around in circles, orbiting around each
other but not congealing, not organizing themselves back into a whole.
But
today, after some interaction with good listeners, I feel a little more
organized, a little more put together. I
may actually have a timeline for the book and some actual goals to work towards
on a short term basis. This is a
relief.
“Refuge
In Grief” quote today was…
The important thing is to not allow
yourself to be drawn into battle. Your grief is not an argument. It doesn't
need to be defended.It's awkward at first, but clarifying your boundaries and
redirecting the conversation will become a lot easier the more you practice it.
This
is such a hard lesson to learn, our inabilities to see this maintains our own victimhood,
keeps us from being able to move through
the trauma and to accept grief as part of our wholes. I like this site; it’s a good FB page to like
because it often posts affirmations that really ring true. I highly recommend it for anyone who
struggles with long term grief. It has
been very helpful.
The
other thing I did today was go the Bookmill and write. I think I’m going to make it my new
writing/reading space. It is so positive
there; it is open and full of light and water is running. Even with the ice floes forming the power of
water is palpable. It feeds me and helps
both with concentration and creativity.
Here
is today’s photo, I actually spied a bald eagle and took a couple pictures of
him soaring above the river. But he is
not my pick of the day. My pick is of a touch of color on a very cold day.
Two new links.
