Yes! I agree! It is so important to take the time to express what is going well for us today, even the small stuff. We deserve more in our day than struggling with the pain of the past and we have the power to create that for ourselves by looking deliberately at what has gone well. It is hard, I know. But we are worth the effort! As we grieve and work to find ways to cope, we need to take at least a moment each day to find something to smile about -- even if that something is simply the beauty of our courage each day as we rise to meet our struggle and know that we are not alone.

Thank you very much for this reminder.
