We made it through another week! Yay!
Today’s Feel Good Friday quote is by American poet, William Stafford:
“I have woven a parachute out of everything broken.”
I absolutely loved the visuals that came when I read this one. So many times we allow the brokenness of our dreams, expectations, desires, and life to bury us. We need to embrace the suck, stand back up, and go. Use it to soften the landing, propel you forward, to go places, to better ourselves, and to help others.
Not strong enough to build your own parachute? Find a friend who is going through the same thing. Join a support group. Know that you are not alone in your sorrow or suffering. Together you can weave a beautiful tapestry and a strong parachute.
May you have a wonderful weekend.
Yours, Lisa

I LOVE this! It is a perfect follow-up to the broken parts of myself that were expressed in my blog post yesterday. I am trying to teach myself to adapt to the limitations of chronic illness and pain and I WILL learn to weave my own parachute out of those broken pieces. It may take time, some trial and error, and a lot of baby steps but I believe we can all get there if we set our minds to it. ❤ We can be HAPPY and we will prevail. ❤
