Anika’s Thoughts of the Week 3

This has been quite an interesting week in some respects. Some of it has been funny, some hard, and other times I have found life totally overwhelming. Sometimes things happen that are unexpected. But you can always find what I think of as the precious jewels that shine like stars in the night sky to keep you going in life and taking on whatever the next step for you and your family is.

One of the things I have been rediscovering this week is that you can be put in situations that are not what you would like, but there’s always, always, always SOME thing that can change your perspective on that situation. There has been a possibility of me thinking very negatively indeed at life but……

Circumstances in family life are not always the bright way people would like the world to see a picture of. Quite honestly, the picture that comes across is the clean, sterilised one that they want people to believe.

When I am struggling to find an answer to things, I have learned that I need to accept what is happening and look for that bright shining piece to be shown to me and to remember that everything happens for a reason. I’m not saying my mental health doesn’t find it challenging. I do! And I’m also not saying I manage this because I don’t always do so.

TREASURE

But I know that it is important for me to see and understand and accept this is something to aim for in life. That place brings peace and comfort and a knowledge that there is a reason for it.
