We are currently dealing with a dear beloved in a time of Crisis. (Please note the capital c.) And during this things-up-in-the-air, Grand Central Station phone ringing, puffy eyes stinging time, two things keep jumping up and waving their hands in my face. The first is guilt. But, I leave guilt for another day. Guilt deserves no more of my time and attention. (Plus, Brene Brown says a lot about guilt beautifully and wonderfully, my words meet no great need today.)
The other thing waving its dirty little paws at me is courage. Courage to stay the path and hold the line. Courage to hold space and not slip into old roles. Courage to speak the truth. Courage to open up to let others help. Courage to face the demons. Courage to really, keep calm and carry on.
Today, I am in awe of the courage shown by my family and grateful for the grace and kindness given which saw me through the day.
