Have you ever …

• looked forward to something special, only to be disappointed and hurt?

• made plans with someone, only to have them completely derail?(the plans, or the person, or both)

• felt lonely, ignored, rejected, or unimportant? 🥲 

I have, and I did. I had planned for a long weekend of sun, swimming, and relaxation with people I care about. It did not go as planned. The weather was too cold, and it rained 2 out of the 3 days.

Lessons learned, perspective shifted.

We can experience unexpected interpersonal conflicts, illness, hurt, and crying. We can also experience significant catharsis, insights, and change. I embraced both sides of the situation; and here’s what I realized.

  • Find the lessons and growth in life's challenges.

  • Look for the beauty, and even joy, in disappointments.

  • Reframe and remember … fertilizer makes living things stronger and healthier.

To illustrate; these flowers showed up even more vibrant after the heavy rains. 🌺
