'Tis a gift to be simple...

Sometimes it is the simple things that make the most profound difference in our lives. A smile from a loved one, a love note tucked in a lunch box, a touch on the shoulder to let us know we are valued--all simple things that send a vital message.
As I learned first-hand about grief, I found that it was simple things that made a big difference in my ability to get through each day. Some of those things were:
*Consistent daily study in my core book
*Fervent prayer, followed by a moment of silence to listen for guidance
*Allowing myself the needed rest. Grieving is a physical drain on the body! It's not lazy to get the rest we need!
*Regular physical exercise. Even a 15-minute walk around the block does wonders for a 'blue' day!

Know that things do get better! Live in that hope, and do these simple things each day and I promise there will come a day when you will lie down in bed and it will hit you: "I didn't cry today!" And it will be a good feeling.

With hope for your healing,
Roslyn
