I learned this in therapy and it helps so I'll share. Although my kids (except Gineboy) are close to me, my puzzling disabilities and then my severe car accident make life hard very often and I find myself grieving often for the "normal" I can never have, such as having a good job and understanding how to do that job. I feel like an alien at times. When I do, I tap into my spiritual side and remind myself of, what I consider, true:
"Every moment of my life has lead me to where I am today. It may not be where I wish to be right now, but it is supposed to be this way, right here, right now. Time will change things, but if I were not supposed th be right here, right now, I wouldnt be. So for this day, even if its hard, this is what is supposed to be based on every action that has ever happened. And if I just have patience, like all things in life, this too shall pass. Our lives, our feelings will change. Nothing is static."
I hope this maybe helped and sure hope this did not offend. Remembering this helps me so much that I shared. If it bothers you...take anything you may like and leave the rest.
Try to have a peaceful day. I am so sorry.
