During our lives we may find ourselves in a seemingly desperate situation and feel like there is no where to turn. We just don’t know what we are going to do.
Giving up seems like a good option even though it will not really solve the challenge(s) at hand.
Just stop and take some deep breaths and try to relax.
No one can truly accurately see the future so even if we “think” we know what could happen that doesn’t mean it will.
Suppose what you expect is all but guaranteed to happen?
We don’t see what lies beyond that and it could be better than anything you could imagine.
During my darkest days in 1978, I came so very close to taking my life as if that was going to solve anything. I felt surrounded by darkness. I didn’t appreciate or love myself the way I should have.
Fortunately for me, I was slow in taking action to end my life.
I laid in bed one day and imagined that my body is in the grave and its my funeral and I see my family up next to the grave in tears, because I was gone.
I instantly snapped out of my depression and realized I could never hurt the ones who love me like that.
Since then my life has had its ups and downs.
I have chosen to be happy rather than not.
I have experienced so many amazing things in my life including having 2 families.
Children are such a blessing and a joy to behold.
I will go on living my life to the best that I can on my terms.
Never give up, my friends, no matter how dark the tunnel seems and feels. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Don’t deny yourselves the beauty and joy that awaits you in the future.
So as long as you can breathe, you can also take another step forward, then another.
Put the past behind you, live in the present moment and hope for the future.
Peace & Love,
Mel Waller
