Reality

When your reality is NOT something you chose,
you can sulk and withdraw from life,
or you can do your best to move forward in
your new circumstances

I am trying my best to move forward,
but my grief is weighing me down heavily,
It does help to focus on God's blessings
daily and I can lean on my tribe of friends

Healing for myself means I count my blessings daily,
look for the good in each situation
I try to banish unhealthy thoughts
and show kindness to others.
