Relax enough to face reality when life twists and turns.
Sometimes in life, no matter how deeply we intend to make the best decisions possible for ourselves, things happen.
Marriages end, jobs turn sour, friends wane.
For reasons outside our control or understanding, the situation twists and turns into something other than what we bargained for.
Have you been waiting for a situation to revert to what it originally was - or what you hoped it would be when you got in?
Are you telling yourself that there's something wrong with you, when the reality is, the situation has changed into something other than what you thought it was?
Things often don't go as smoothly as we planned.
Sometimes, we need to endure and get through the rough spots.
But I'm talking about those grindingly difficult moments when life suddenly twists on us.
These are the times we need to quit torturing ourselves.
Let go of what you thought would happen.
If life has twisted on you, don't turn on yourself.
Don't try to make things be the way they were.
Come up to speed.
Return to now.
Let yourself accept the new situation at hand.
The road isn't always a straight course. Sometimes, even a path with heart unexpectedly twists and turns.

Brilliant reminder, Mel!
And so spot on!

Not always easy to do, but I know (from experience) it's the most wisest thing to do.
Thanks for this insightful reminder, dear lady!

another excellent lesson--Return to now. It is a challenge to allow my perspective to focus on the actual reality rather than some artificial reality that I hoped for or something that was real in the past. Such an excellent lesson. I am SO struggling with this Mel!! Thank you -d
Some of these I reread often
they make me think
make me see
that today is where I want to be
and to leave the past behind me.
