Good morning! Taking another road or path; a new way forward! New roads or pathways lead us towards new experiences! They take us to where we have not been, and to where we have wanted to go all along___.

Often, a new road or path feels a bit scary, even very scary! That’s because we have not traveled that way before. And if you feel the loss of a partner, you can have the thought. “I am alone now! ” But such thoughts hold us back from ever trying something new, when we need that something new the most! It’s not just the loss of someone that can set the mind to thinking thoughts that hold us back. Many thoughts come our way, and we get caught up in them, and there we are! But we don’t have to stay stuck!

This is something I have tested out since Thomas’ death in 2020. I began by asking myself the question what do I want my life to be like now? Now, this question has come up for a whole other situation for me which is beyond my control, and not about me. So, I am learning. Being ghosted by someone I love and someone I have done a lot for. I am not alone in this phenomenon, so I am learning. I get broadsided and its very painful.

There is no choice but to move forward, I do not want to waste my life on being unhappy, or fixing this when I cannot, it’s not mine to fix. What I can do is move forward with the goals and promises I made after Tom died.

Good things are happening! Old and new friends are one wonderful thing that is happening. It has been so worthwhile to reach out and get out of my old ways of being! I am finding people who I am having wonderful times with! Making connections as friendships grow, and I am making connections with the art I do! I am claiming my new home and embracing that life! Despite what can still hurt, I am becoming more of myself and learning to love that person!

Despite what is awful in the world I am doing well! I can reach out to many others and enrich their lives by being who I am. A loving caring person. I am like-minded people! Those who meditate, and love the earth and other people! The world needs change, and we really do need one another. It’s worth the risk to care! It’s worth getting out into one’s community. It’s better than being alone with thoughts that come up and make your life miserable.
