A Script…

A friend once said to me some very wise words that I’ve repeated many times, in many situations…

“No one gives you a script that tells you how to react/behave/be in a situation.”

Wouldn’t it be empowering if someone did…

What I usually add is that you just have to feel what you’re feeling. Feel it so you can be healthy, whatever that means.

No script means that you create what it means, how you react and what you take from it…

We each have things that touch us deep and others that don’t at all. The thing is, it’s different for each of us. There is no wrong or right, just simply what is. And you don’t usually know until you’re there, in the situation, what it means to you.

Be kind to yourself, feel it so you can get through it.

So you can decide what to do with it.

Today we commemorate my Mother’s birthday. She passed away almost five years ago, peacefully, in her sleep as she battled cancer. Early enough that she was spared the difficult end, late enough that we took solace in her peace. Today especially, I miss her. While I still feel the loss, am empowered by her life. That’s the script I’ve chosen to write for this…

Powerful.
