One of those difficult seasons of life descended on me in the last few months. Throughout life, they come and go like we biking on a road in length through the hills.
Weeeee! We speed down the hill in the euphoria. Ugh. We struggle to peddle up the hill. You may be able to connect if someone in your family is facing a diagnosis of mesothelioma.
As I prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I ?? m uphill now. My nest just emptied my two son are themselves now. The house is quiet, too quiet except for my disabled daughter who still live at home.
Although difficult, it ?? s normal season of life. At the same time, mom isn ?? t do well.
I ?? Not sure how long I will have it. This is the girl I called cheerleader ?? of my life. ?? Your cheerleader could be in danger, too.
Thanksgiving approach
This year, when I think of my favorite holiday, a veil comes over me. Mom will be there?
Without it, the board might as well be served for dinner.
I guess my family sitting sadly on the table from each other, not many in the party atmosphere.
an unexpected surprise
This type of sadness enveloped me yesterday that I started to walk behind my daughter and her big motorcycle with three wheels for some fresh air and exercise .
I prefer the couch and an Afghan, but I forced myself so that my daughter could stretch his legs. I pushed him in the street as the negativity swirling in my brain. Firstly wrapped in my pain, crisp air of autumn and hot sun escaped my attention.
Within minutes, we turned a corner in the street, and my eyes immediately met with a maple tree dominant washed in gold leaf with just the tip highlighted by the bright sunlight .
Magnificence.
Thankfulness gushed as a first reaction. What a beautiful sight.
My extended awareness to feel the cool autumn air on my face as I watched a few puffy clouds floating across the blue sky.
Around me a blanket of red leaves covering a lawn. A fat, gay, pumpkin orange greeted a passerby on a porch.
My evaporated agitation.
It reminded me of a dear friend who, just days after his son died unexpectedly, spoke about the beauty of birds chirping in his window in the morning.
Thankfulness can coexist with Heartache
later in the walk, I noticed a woman in her driveway brushing sauce on something sizzling on the grill.
Earlier this summer I gave him a similar walk. She sported the telltale sign of chemotherapy: Balding. Signs of a cancer walk strewn lawn.
This time, her hair barely grown outside, she chirped a happy greeting to another neighbor who is out. I saw and heard recognition.
Thankfulness may be a decision that I choose to do when life is hard? For the rest of the walk, I stood on that thought.
As beautiful tree caught me by surprise, I realize that beauty bombard the pain unexpectedly.
Thankfulness lifts your mood
There ?? s interesting that the feeling of recognition has led my heart involuntarily after seeing the beauty ?? s nature. What I n ?? know until I did research on the subject is that gratitude actually stimulates a chemical reaction in the brain.
?? If [thankfulness] were a drug, it would be the world ?? s best selling products with an indication of the health maintenance for each major organ system ?? Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy, chief of the division of biological psychology at Duke University Medical Center, said in an ABC News report.
Doraiswamy explains that when feeling happy, the brain sends chemical dopamine, which has a positive impact on the emotional well-being
?? Gratitude helps us to counter the prejudices of negativity by focusing our attention on the ?? good things, ????. Renee Jain, a certified trainer of positive psychology, said.
She suggests writing three good things that happened during the day. Studies show those who practice the exercise increase happiness and decrease depressive symptoms up to six months.
Change A Heart
Mom, Dad and I sat outside of our special ice cream shop last week after I drove over to spend the day with them. We ?? have experienced very special moments from my mom status ?? s refused.
times If you think about it, you can probably remember valuable ?? have had since your relative was sick. nature's beauty ?? or the beauty of the relational connection may have touched you in the darkness of a poor prognosis.
As go in first gear on your bike while going up the steep hill, these times provide little relief as you keep struggling upward.
This walk with my daughter opened my eyes ?? or maybe my heart.
The Thanksgiving feast is still unknown at this time for my family, and maybe yours this year. But I ?? m paris, whatever the situation, recognition will be a guest that appears.
