The nature of life is that things continually change. When I'm facing difficult times, I tell myself that this too shall pass.

[@Sonomacats]

My mother says that all the time. It used to make me crazy. But then I discovered how wise AND true it is. So now I acknowledge the situation, remind myself that "this too shall pass" and then ask myself what I can do about it right now. How can I look at it? What gift is hiding in the middle of it?

[@notaclue822]

@Sonomacats it shouldn't make you crazy. I think it gives you hope to know things don't last forever.

[@mariarohmer2374]

I seriously hate this platitude. It's tired and unfeeling. Surely when someone is suffering or in pain there is something more heartfelt and meaningful to say. Not this bumper sticker.

[@notaclue822]

@mariarohmer2374 if it doesnt work for you, thats fine. It actually has comforted me and i dont view it as being unfeeling at all. It's true and sometimes, when there's truly nothing that can be done about misfortune, it helps to realize that in time the issue will fade in significance at least. We have limited power in life sometimes.

[@gracebe235]

I had realized many years ago, that we each have our own ‘tailor-made’ trials. What may seem like a hard trial for one, is not so hard a trial for another….and vice-versa. Just because it may seem an easy trial for you, but not for your friend, etc., doesn’t mean that it is not still a very hard trial. For THAT individual, it is hard. May we have more understanding, wisdom, and compassion on such things.

[@sjordan7085]

Sometimes, challenges and struggles are easier to cope with if one has a compatible partner to share the burden, be that physical and/or mental. I notice that being alone, to navigate such situations becomes all the more challenging when one has multiple complex issues to cope with at the same time. Sometimes, I make an 'appointment' with myself in a week or two, to allow myself to remove myself and choose to live in the present. Sometimes, that is easier said than done. I also make it a point to do one thing every day, that brings me happiness. I always break problems down into smaller bites, something I learned from my piano teacher. One bar at a time, then the next and join the two together, etc., etc.. The companionship of animals and the beauty of nature can also be very comforting, especially in the absence of family and/or friends. Resilience is by far my strongest trait. I surprise myself from time to time. Living in keeping with my values is everything!

[@EdelweisSusie]

The reality is that some people’s lives will never improve out of ‘chronic misery’. I know several ‘elder orphans’ ie older people whose entire family is deceased, whose friends are married so don’t bother with them any more, and whose neighbours treat them like a social pariah (one friend said “Alien”) because no-one ever calls at their house etc, whose lives are a living hell and no amount of ‘acceptance’ will help them. Where you live also plays a huge part in your ability to survive in that type of situation: if your locality is geared to young families and older people are ignored (bar the odd whist drive or bowls club!), being positive and forward-looking doesn’t help you one jot (trust me - I live in such a place myself). Since Covid, British society has changed - the whole sense of community has gone and people just care about what happens within their own 4 walls. And no amount of positivity’s going to change that.

And if you can, every day help someone else when you find the chance to do so.

Let's hope only 4 years...I have lost faith in the idea of America and Americans. It's like waking from a dream into a nightmare where morality, Decency, Honesty and truth are no longer our values and criminality to achieve power is now our standard. I am so disappointed in voters. We could have had hope, but, they chose fear,anger and hate. God Bless America. Bless you dear friend!!!! May hope spring eternal!!!

@@joannnelson9847 I thought we were all grown up regarding our understanding of the phony two party system. The Communist (Left) vs Zionist (Right) charade. Zionism and Communism are alternate routes to the Rothschild global government. They let you choose which route you want to take to end up in the same 💩 hole.

hello Emmy, have been out of the loop for a while...and this coming into my feed feeling compelled to check in again...love that so many comments are validating your needed words, inspiration and presence as those who have listened prior, like me think, why isnt this person blowing up over the intenet as one hell of wise woman you are...anyway for me, your pearls always remind me that there are so many others going through 'similar' diificult situations, and try not to take it personally, and that through strength, resolve and persistence this too shall pass, and yes the sun will shine. thank you . always ❤

Chronic misery. That’s my life right now!

[@ninacarrier8979]

Just remember with God all things are possible. Also, fear, anxiety, depression and stress we can cast them out in the mighty name of Jesus. Plead the blood over you and yours and continue to give all your burdens to him and cast out the heavy things, often demons.
