@mopinon: Everything in me wanted to crawl back into bed and sleep the day away. Andy Andrews says, "If you set your mind on loss, you are more likely to lose. But a grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person's life." I know he wasn't specifically talking about death and grief, but today I'm choosing to honor my mom's life by living. Instead of focusing on what I've lost, I'm focusing on what I was blessed to have. I know gratitude won't erase the grief, but it reminds me that the years I had with her were a gift. So today, I decided to take the littlest to the beach, a place where I always feel close to my mom. The ocean reminds me of the ebbs and flows of life. Just as the tide carries things away, it also brings new things to the surface. Life is full of seasons of loss and seasons of blessing, and somehow they often exist at the same time. Today, I'm grateful for everything she instilled in me, I wouldn't be who I am today without her. Happy 3 years in Heaven, Mama. I miss you every day, and I'll carry your adventurous spirit with me always. So long, never goodbye ❤️ p.s. tiktok picked the sound ♥️♥️♥️ #gratitude #grief #griefjourney #grieftok #andyandrews
