The grace of gratitude

Calmness & contentment are not something that land when our world is shaken by loss. Not instantly, not without thought, never without work.

The magnitude of the loss lands with force, the ongoing offshoots of loss continue. Showing us how much change was forced, became inevitable.

Putting in the work, the time, the effort … with grief, will inevitably deliver a sense of calm.

Now, there’s a whole lot of stuff that has to happen, don’t get me wrong, there’s no easy quick way to calm a violent storm.

When the clouds are heavy, the skies grey … the outlook unsettled …. There is the option to focus on gratitude 🙏… discovering a way to acknowledge gratitude, enables grief to travel with grace.

As we know, everything changes, including what we feel grateful for.

Remain grateful despite the storm.
