The Silver Lining
Hello lovies! How are you today?
I, for one, am feeling grateful and trying to find the silver lining in a rather sad year. I have been open and honest (almost to a fault) about this year being one of sadness and lose. As the hubs and I were having cocktails the other night and rehashing everything I told him I was adamant about finding the silver lining in all of this.
I know God teaches us lessons no matter what we are facing and I realize a lot of the lessons I am learning won't be fully realized for several months or years. What I do know now is that I am thankful for many things.
I am thankful for a job and a company that has been compassionate and understanding of this year. Who has given me time and space to heal. A lot of other employers wouldn't have been as caring or concerned and I am truly grateful to work somewhere that does. I am blessed that I have been able to take care of my personal life without any penalty to my professional one.
I am humbled and grateful for my family and friends for their support and love. So many people have reached out to me by phone, text, email, card, facebook etc. and it has touched me deeply. I have felt the power of love and prayer from them and it has been my saving grace on my worst days.
Oddly enough I'm glad I started exercising again. It has been the one thing that keeps me sane, centers me and is just for me/about me. I have found peace in running and I pray that it continues.
And as always I am beyond grateful for the hubs. Sometimes people make cracks or passive aggressive statements to me about the praise I give the hubs and that's ok. Other times people ask if he's perfect, he is not (don't tell him that). The hubs is my rock, a huge source of strength and peace and unconditionally accepting. He has sat with me through millions of tears, pushed me when I needed to be pushed, encouraged me to move forward and in general made me better. He has sometimes made me mad which I think is good to because it means he was trying and he cares.
One of my friends said to me the other day, about her relationship with her hubs, that she loves him even more now because of what they've been through. They know each other better now than ever and they like what they know. How incredible is that!
I think every one's prayer is to be with someone that you can learn and grow with. You hope and pray that you grow and expand together and your love does as well. You hope that the hard times make you, not break you. You work on your relationship each day so it is strong and solid....some days are better than others.
In everything I hunt for the silver lining, as small as it might be sometimes. I pray each day I am stronger and better and that the silver lining expands. I thank God for the day I have today and ask that I do His will that day.
I fail miserably most of the time but I'm trying every day and that my friends is my silver lining!
