They say you dont know what youve got until its gone. I say you know, but maybe you dont fully recognize the value and meaning of things or people until you no longer have them. We all have that one family member who frustrates us and makes us roll our eyes or maybe just downright makes us angry. I say concentrate instead on the joy they bring you by being around; their silliness or the way they go out of their way to care for you. Especially if you havent always had the best relationship with them. If youve lost someone, and you are angry about it, thats understandable. But holding on to that anger will never allow you to heal. Focus on the joy you felt being with them, the happiness they brought to your life and how glad you are to have known them. Love heals. Anger festers. In 2014, Ive been extremely fortunate to experience joy and happiness beyond anything Ive felt before. Ive also felt sorrow, regret, vulnerability, disbelief and yes anger. I wont let the latter interfere with the former. I wont close up my emotions to protect myself from the future. Someone told me recently that I am reluctant to look the world in the eyes. I almost believed it. The truth is, this year for the first time ever I looked at the world and said bring it on. Thats the only reason I was able to open myself up to that joy. Love heals. Let love and gratefulness rule your life and relationships. Because you never know when you might blink and its all gone.
