"When we are no longer able to change a situation,
we are challenged to change ourselves."
Viktor Frankl
Don't you sometimes wish you had a magic wand to change the situation you find yourself in? If only . . . it would be a great selling item on eBay for sure!
We moved back home after being away due to Hurricane Irma dropping a tree on our house and drastically changing our lives. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first walked in to find mud that has been drying for a year everywhere. Part of the ceiling is missing in the kitchen. No matter how much trash we pick up, the piles don't seem to get smaller.
The situation is not going to change. We are going to change the situation by taking one step at a time, one day at a time, one moment at a time. No matter how long it takes, we must carry on and persist in making our house a home again. First we had to accept what happened and come up with a plan.
Yes, it is so depressing! But when I feel myself starting to fall down and want to give up, I pray for strength and perseverance . . . and if I really need it, I rest in stillness to get myself together again. Then I can pick myself up and carry on.
Things happen in life, but we can't allow those things to destroy us.
