Start with One
Start with One.
One deep breath.
One walk.
One brussel sprout.
One honest, yet much-needed talk.
One clean glass of water.
One bottle unbought.
One more minute to get there.
One more peaceful thought.
One smoothie.
One smile.
One true need.
One pile.
One donation.
One cause.
One beat before leaving.
One pause.
One trip to the park.
One page.
One overdue goodbye.
One wave.
One bag of recycling.
One hug.
One act done in kindness.
One reusable coffee mug.
One sunrise alone.
One sunset with friends.
One meal without phones.
One firm boundary set.
One more of this.
One less of that.
One time let it go.
One time don’t react.
One trigger unfollowed.
One debt repaid.
One try again tomorrow for
One start begun today.
JAD 12.30.19
Letting go is not the same as forgetting. Loss happens. Illness and injury happens. But, LIFE happens to matter most of all. What we do with our pain is up to us. Do we ignore it? Do we surrender to it? Do we let it define us? Or, do we feel it, tend it, and grow through it? We are not what happens to us. We are who we become -driven by our choices, our actions, and our reactions to life’s blessings and trials. Notice those blessings; learn through the trials; and nourish the gift of life that remains.
