There are lessons and/or love in everything.

10/9/2015

 
Thanksgiving.   A time for gathering together with family and friends, for eating turkey.....and in KW ....for watching the Oktoberfest Parade!  Mostly though it is a time to give thanks.  Thanks for the good and the bad.  We don't learn when only good things happen.  We learn through the hard times too..... and then we pass the wisdom along to others once we've integrated it.  And when I think of all of the lessons I've learned......and have yet to learn{!!}.......I am grateful.  For if those events hadn't happened.....the good, the bad and the ugly.....I wouldn't be who I am.  And, mostly, although a little bruised in some places....I'm OK.  So thank you to all my friends, my family, my clients and to those I didn't know from 9/11....you have impacted my spirit deeply and I am grateful for the love and the lessons.  For the crap that was hard and I had no control of......thank you.  It has taught me compassion for people who have crap that they have no control of and that therapy can't 'fix'.  For every 'bull in a china shop' that I have come across.......you are loveable and worthy and you have taught me to see through the compassion of my therapist eyes when I am not working.  For the times I have been a 'bull in a china shop' I have learned that I am loveable and worthy and I can make mistakes and learn just like anybody else.  That's all there is.  Live.  Love.  Learn.  Be grateful.  That's all.  I'm done now!!!!  This is the opposite of a Rick Mercer rant.  Lol  Happy Thanksgiving!
