<\/a>Whatever the cause of your pain, it\u2019s okay to feel it. To sit with it for a bit and see if maybe there\u2019s something you can learn from it. Or to just cry and hide from people.<\/p>Today, I\u2019m thinking about it. I\u2019m grateful to be able to do that.<\/p>
The wind seems to be blowing 5000 miles an hour right now. The trees in my back yard are swaying in crazy directions, and shingles are literally being blown off my storage shed, not to mention the dust that has come in with all this wind. I kinda feel that way today. Like I\u2019m being blown all over the place with parts of me flying off, and being sanded down. And I guess thinking for me today, is like wearing goggles, so I\u2019m not blinded by flying debris.<\/p>
If I sound scattered, it\u2019s because I am. Hard not to be with all the chaos blowing around my mind.<\/p>
Regardless of your situation, if you\u2019re having a hard day like me, be kind to yourself. It\u2019s more than okay to take care of you. Give yourself a break. And don\u2019t feel bad about it. Do nice stuff for yourself. You deserve all the love and compassion you give to others. You\u2019re not meant to take the weight of the world on your shoulders alone. Maybe ask someone for help, if you need it. Get a hug from someone who loves you. And yes, cuddles with dogs or other pets count! Do what you need to get through today, and remember you are worthy of a beautiful, hope-filled life.<\/p>
