Today I woke up feeling anxious with thoughts of moving to another country and leaving my oldest children behind. It’s time for them to adult and for me to let them go. This new and daily finding of what you’re grateful for amidst the hard has met me with asking the question “Can the two exist at the same time?.” As I write and ask myself that question it is a resounding yes because it’s a choice. I can choose gratitude. To be grateful that I have beautiful strong independent children who will be ok. Grateful mixed with fear of stepping into the unknown of a new life that awaits me. Grateful for the new adventures that await me. Grateful that even though I don’t feel it right now, I have a deep knowing that everything is going to be just fine and that everything is working out just as it should for me and my family. Love S
