Serenity Now

Rest Stop If you need prayer comment See you at the next stop rest stop #DontQuit

People are talking about doing things that will distract them from everything that's been going on in their lives. A funny movie. A good book. A craft ... -a reno -a project -an activity -a walk -a workout- volunteering -or finding a new hobby. Maybe baking or photography or astronomy...ya...drag out that old telescope that we bought for the kids ten years ago that they never used. People are talking about 'getting through this'. If we can just get through this year this month this day this minute. ya. If we can just get past all this. People are talking about how things used to be. Remember that? Remember when? That trip. That time. That place. That thing that happened. Those good days. These are the good days. All these new things you're trying and doing. This new person that wasn't here last year. This new life. These new opportunities. These chances. These revelations. These uncoverings. People want what was. Don't you know that 'what was', isn't even a thing anymore. There is no what was. There isn't even a 'what will be'. There is a right now and that's constant. That's hopeful and exciting and real. It's all so real. You think you're distracting yourself with all these things, and in fact, you're living the most incredible life. You've pushed your buttons and found things firing off that you never new needed firing off. YOU are living a life. Not a distraction, but an explosion of newness and wonder. Who would have thought, that something so bad, could be something so good. Warp speed. WE adapt. We overcome. WE assimilate. WE adjust. Human beings were built for change. Look at all the things you've found from losing.
