Walking into the last grips of winter we can feel spring trying to force its way back into our lives. Feeling a little defeated at times and reminding myself to get up and keep going even through the long dark days feel like a weighted blanket, as it has in the past, this too will pass.
I’m not sure how we do it some days. With each sun rise followed by the sun set it happens, another day passes. Some days show us they are more changeling to get through and then there are the days you don’t ever want to end. This past month have presented many challenges and I’m sure I am not the only one, these test in life. Tests that we don’t know the answer to or when and how they are going to end. What I do know is through life there are many challenges, and everyone’s challenges are different. Through life at every stage there will be tests, there will always be someone that is going through harder times than I and there will always be someone that has easier paths, and that’s ok. It’s these changelings that help mold us to learn, grow and to become stronger. It may not seam like it right now, but it is these life tests that we can learn our greatest lessons from, and it is our job to buckle down and make it through.
Buckling down is defiantly easier said than done, what always help is knowing there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, wither the tunnel is 50’ or 1,000’ long there will be a light at the end. Sometimes it takes us time to ignite the light at the end of the tunnel being the challenges of the journey to get there, but we must embrace the journey, except the challenges as they are and make it to the end of the tunnel. We are not the only ones in this journey that presents in front of us, that is when I must remind myself that I am grateful for the challenges that I have as it can always be worse. I can get to the light at the end of the tunnel as many people have done before me. Knowing it can be done and is done every day is a great reminder to me that life will keep moving forward, the sun will rise and set as it has done every day before.
It presents to be my job to embrace these life challenges with grace and in the best way moving forward as there is my family to support and work to be done. The more I move forward in the most positive way I can, the closer to the end of tunnel I will be. I look forward to the light at the end of the tunnel and the positive light that I let into my life on the journey there. Ensuring I bring in a positive to my life every day helps bring the light in. Positives like helping someone, getting a chore done that I have been procrastinating on or doing a good deed. Bringing my spirt and surroundings into the positive posture that lets the light in.
I have been longing for longer day light, warmer weather and some of the challenges that have presented themselves to pass faster than they are. That light is at the end of the tunnel and as I move toward it, I will continue doing the little things to ignite the light and make the days become filled with purpose.
Are you needing to reach the end of the tunnel?
Buckle down and let the light in!
