“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” ~Lena Horne

Mounting stress levels have forced me to take a hard look at the way I carry the load of my job. My work place and the pressures and challenges I face there are unlikely to change, so I’m focused on changing the way I carry that load to reduce the stress it causes me.

Kenetha Stanton Quotes November 24, 2021November 24, 2021brokenness, gratitude, pain, perspective

“Gratefulness helps us return to ourselves, restoring our equilibrium and helping us to see beyond what’s broken to the beauty and wholeness of life.” ~Tim Roberts

When we are hurting, it’s easy to become so focused on what’s causing us pain that we see nothing else. Gratefulness helps widen our view to remind us that there is more to life than just the pain we are facing. Rediscovering the beauty and wholeness that still exists can help us navigate our pain with greater ease.
