The picture on my calendar for May. I am reminded of two quotes from the late great Dr Martin Luther King
You don't get to the Promised Land without going through the Wilderness. You don't get there without crossing over hills and mountains, but if you keep on keeping on, you can't help but reach it
...If you can't fly then
run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you
do, keep moving.
A lot of my friends are in really tough places right now. There are no easy answers, and sometimes words seem empty. But know that you are special, you are loved, and it may seem like a very long tunnel, but there is light at the end...
Yes. I often quote 'we're going on a bear hunt' to myself; 'we can't go over it, we can't go under it, we can't go round it, we'll gave to go through it!'.
ReplyDeleteOr sing a favourite hymn; 'lead kindly light...'
I love reciting "bear hunt" with the children
DeleteAnother Bear Hunt fan here too. One step at a time and thankful for all I have. Catriona

DeleteI like your calendar picture and the quotes you've chosen to share.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely calendar. My best friend buys me a new one each year
ReplyDeleteTake each day as it comes and find something positive to do or think about. I find if I get up and do something physical it lifts my mental state, although being with grandchildren is always a great thing. Xx
ReplyDeleteYes, doing something is usually better than doing nothing!
DeleteThis calendar and the sweet faces on the mice ( they could not be cuter) always cheer me. JanF

DeleteI think the best thing we can offer ourselves and others, is what you wrote, "know that you are special, you are loved".
ReplyDeleteIn the darkest moments, it is good to remind ourselves that we do not have to go through it alone, there are others who care
DeleteJust letting someone know you are there helps x
