Good morning @cathy5161
This past weekend, I was reviewing some notes from past sessions with my neuropsychologist, and your recent post and words came right back to me. So much of what she has shared over the years with me echoes beautifully with what you wrote here. Sharing some parts she has once told me.
We always have a choice: to remain anchored in resentment and loss, or to open ourselves to new joys. When we resist acceptance and cling to what is gone, we risk becoming trapped in pain and in the past.
Every time a door closes, the temptation is to stand before it — grieving, waiting, refusing to turn away. But healing asks us to gently shift our gaze: to look around, to look forward, and to notice the window that is quietly opening. We need to stop looking at the closed door to start seeing the new light coming through the window that has opened.
Have a lovely week!
Chris
