Someone close to me has a game called ‘silver lining’ where they look for the good in difficult situations. Everyone goes through challenging times but the best ones find ways to do it with grace and dignity. They develop(ed) character by moving through challenges without being whiny.
But the past few months have been a challenge for sure. I left a significant relationship, I moved to the city, I started a new role at work and I joined a new church. I’m an INFJ and typically we don’t handle that amount of change at once very well. I’m grateful to those that have been there to assist and I’m proud of myself for doing some of these things on my own.
Here’s my Silver Lining list:
-great friends and family
-a God that comforts me
-a place to call home
-a church that welcomes me
-a company that believes in me
I’m always learning something. Right now I’m learning that some people lead healthy and happy lives on their own -without the house, the spouse, the 2.5 kids and the SUV. I am one of those people. And I’m glad to be back.
Here's to the future,
Mr. A
