Here is today's entry in the book I read every morning, Healing After Loss: Daily Meditations for Working Through Grief by Martha Whitmore Hickman.
How much time we spend anguishing over a future without the one we love—anticipating all the times we would have expected that person to be present with us, sharing our life.
Yet the future is unknown to us. We ourselves may not be present at these events we look toward anticipating grief. Why spend the energy of our lives on an unknowable future when the present world lies all around us, moment by moment, day by day? There is grief enough here. But we do not need to compound that grief by projecting ourselves into a time beyond our knowledge or control.
Affirmation:
I feel wonderful freedom when I stop imagining my future sadness and live only in the present.

I apologize for not blogging in a long time. I have a list of topics I need to write but haven't been able to sit down and write in a long time. Hang on. I'll post something new soon. Thanks for checking in ya'll. And don't forget to leave a comment if you'd like.
