 Honoring the Process
Have you ever noticed that when someone is dealing with a difficult, life changing blow, others want to 'hurry' them through the grieving, sadness, and loss, and get them right back to 'normal' as soon as possible? There can be pressure, (though lovingly intended), to move on or find closure.
Some people think that by urging a loved one along toward happy days, they are actually doing that person a favor. Perhaps it is because of their own discomfort with these feelings.
We all need to move through the stages of grief or loss at our own pace, a pace that feels right and works for us.
During these challenging times, people are experiencing losses in ways that they ordinarily might not. If someone you care about is trying to cope with a loss - be it a job, money, relationship, or a death - try to resist the urge to make them feel better before they are ready.
Be there for them, honoring their process as you would like to be treated in kind. Listen and offer advice only when asked, and allow them to move through their stages at their own pace. It will be the best support you can offer in this crazy 'get over it' kind of world.
Peace to you,
Beth Ann

You've committed to your daily walks, but could use some incentive. You're also trying to make time to read more. But by the end of the day you're pooped and just don't have the time. Sound familiar?
Have you considered audiobooks? Check out your local library to save money.
Audiobooks and walking go hand in hand. Who knows, you may become so engrossed in the story that you'll end up walking for miles and won't even notice!
