Over the past few days I have found reflection in so much around me. I needed to express about.. You know rage on the page.
This will be the first year, in many, many years I will be alone. Not literally, but without my stations, my little mini me, my most dear best friend and her little stations, my other great friends, my family (my immediate family live in Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Texas, Florida, Minnesota). This year my close stations, my family………… will not be around to give thanks with each other. As I reflect on that I think about what I could do, what I might do, what I want to do, mostly what I can do……. No…….. you won’t find me having a lonesome pitty party. No…………. not to sit at home under a cozy blanket and over indulge on NetFlix and consume what I could say more Vodka/Tonics/3 Limes then I ever would or want to…..
However that is not what is going to happen.
In my life I find myself being still……a lot………. Meaning…… I know to gather all the information before reacting. I know to just listen… I know when to lead a helpful banter…. I know when someone needs someone…. Simply to just help….. Yes I put myself out there……. Never expecting anything in return….. I do this because I want to… It helps me to be still…. To reflect on what is in front of me. It’s for one person’s benefit…Mine.. I find peace, understanding and a great sense of being still… Reflection……
I am pretty sure most of us do not think about reflection in helping others. As a means to being still.. Letting that feeling of being able to just put yourself out there to assist one person who at that moment can’t find it in themselves to just be still….
Here is what I know…. I am so Thankful that people allow me to help them, assist them, listen to them, be there for them, as I can, do and want to……
Try it………….
