Grieving means you are healing

Good Morning! Ahhhh, a fall kind of sunrise with a cool breeze and a deep pink and orange color show. The flock of laughing gulls were so loud flying in a regular sunriser called the flock “An All Gull Choir.”

The flock stopped to have a bath and get the bugs off. We all noticed the water was a hint cooler too. Pelican Highway was causing southbound with moderate traffic while an osprey flew directly overhead looking for snacks.

As the sun came up filling the air with warmth and golden rays of light, the energy felt hopeful for a new day.

One seagulls with tattered wings flew in with her wings and heart wide open. I asked her, “How do you stay open with all those bumps and bruises?” She said, “The secret is to acknowledge how you feel just like the osprey who says dive deep into your emotions.”

I want to add to the seagulls message. As you know, hurricane Ian has had quite the impact, from loss of life to the loss of homes, vehicles, businesses and so much more. Even people who were not directly impacted by the storm have felt the intensity.

When people say it is just stuff, I totally agree, it’s just stuff. However, it is painful to lose ‘the stuff.’ It is so important to allow time to grieve and feel the emotions, the loss, then go to gratitude. Feeling your pain doesn’t mean you are not strong or grateful for what you have, it means you are healing.

Life is messy, let’s flock together to support and heal so we can love each other even more.

Wishing you a day filled with love!
