Day 2!!!
Thanks for your grace with my internet issues. Life always has a funny way of working out. Day 2, I went to the grocery store to pick up my grocery order. I have never done a pick-up order so I was slightly confused when I arrived at the store. The directions the employees gave were not helpful. I walked outside and still could not figure it out, so I called the store.
The person on the phone told me to stand by the blue spaces, which made me further confused. A woman scrolling through he phone and sitting on a bench looked up at me. I smiled politely.
A few minutes later, she spoke “Um…I don’t mean to be nosy but do you need help finding the pick up spot?”
Grateful to hopefully stumble upon a helpful guide I replied:
“Omg, be as nosy as you want… I am lost.” I said chuckling.
She told me where the pick-up location was and walked with me. I was very grateful and thanked her a few times. The building has two signs that say PICK UP, so it was kinda confusing. I also am used to having my groceries delivered and had zero coffee before I left the house. I told Via the interaction and referred to the stranger as my angel.
Sometimes we just need a little help, and I am grateful I had an angel nearby to assist. Read on for Day 3….
DAY 3!! Healing
I have this habit of thinking I don’t need rest or help to get through life. I know…I just had my angel interaction but I am talking about the heavy stuff. I don’t need help moving a tv stand made of glass “i can do it”. I don’t need help taking care of my mom “i can do it.” The truth is we ALL need help from time to time. Even if that help if giving you a moment of peace so you can get through the day. My therapist told me that overwhelm does not have to be my state of mind if I reach out for help when I need it.
“But I don’t need help.”
Then, why are you overwhelmed?
“Well, if you are going to point out the obvious.”
Choosing to heal versus choosing to repeat the same mistakes does not have to be your life. Four years ago, I chose to start my healing journey. It has resembled more of a rollercoaster than a walk in a neighborhood, but it’s mine.
I am choosing to heal and it will not be pretty. There will be storms, tears, and rage….but at the end, there is healing.
Isn’t that a beautiful thing to witness?
How are you at the end of Day 3?
