Today's Gift
Today's Gift
When one door closes,
fortune will usually open another. -- Fernando De Rojas
Sometimes we concentrate on our losses instead of our
gains. We see a chapter in our life closing, and we mourn. We must leave some
friends behind, or say good-bye to a life we enjoyed. We must give up , which
had become our best friend and only comfort. We may even have to leave our
families, at least for a time, in order to concentrate on our own
needs.
We need to grieve all these losses. Then we can see
more clearly what our new life has brought us. For every loss, we've gained
blessings. For every friend gone, we have the chance to make many more. A whole
new life awaits us when we're ready to be part of it.
When we gave up the fake comforts of our past, we
found genuine comfort in sound sleep and healthy bodies, in peaceful days and
serene nights. When we were ready to give up anger and resentment, we found
generosity and forgiveness toward other people, and toward ourselves, too. In
our new chapter of life, it's true, one door has closed. But another, better
door has finally opened.
Today help me be grateful for my new life. Help
me grieve my losses so I can appreciate all that awaits me.
