Stand firm

Life seems to be pretty generous with its challenges at the moment. And I'm doing well with lots of them. I have fab friends who listen, who are just “there” for me in some shape or form. A friend who knows my views on prayer has cheered me no end by giving me an amusing image to hold on a tricky day, and instead of offering to pray, has told me she is singing a song we both know about standing firm. The challenges will work out in whatever way they work out and I'll deal with them as best I can, which will involve feeling my feelings and having a good cry about them, and then using my clear thinking as to how best I want to handle each of them. Choosing to be as loving as I can towards myself and others. Standing firm in that I know I'm not alone and am also very capable and rooted. But not feeling I have to have a bravado if actually I want to lean on others for a while. I don't know that everything is going to be alright in one sense, but I do know that everything is going to have love in it, it always does.
