I've learned to better accept things that have taken place recently, situations which all along, were out of my control. The last 31 days were not wasted, but I come out of this month realizing many do not and will not, ever grasp the struggles some of us face.
I've learned a helping hand doesn't always come from the people you thought it would, but when extended in kindness, can still mean so much.
I found out there is more peace in leaning into grief than avoiding it - this was a tough one for me. I always knew you couldn't outrun sadness or simply wish away your pain.....but found out that to just sit with things and find a place of acceptance....is survival.
So long, month ten. You were beautiful and vivid and amazing..... thank you for ending with warm, summer-like weather, and the chance to sit outside and pretend it was not almost November. ๐งก
Wishing you the best month ahead in November ~ happy holiday season to you and yours. ๐
