I know it is said that we should never dwell on the past. However true, this is not about dwelling. It is not about wallowing. It’s about reflection. If you don’t reflect, how do you explain and be grateful for where you are? What good would memories be?

Sometimes we aren’t content in our present circumstance but, this is then a chance to think about what was done to get you in that circumstance. To realize what you’d like to do differently.

Let me get back to my original thought….

This morning before my alarm went off, I laid in my bed and reflected on how amazing God is. Amongst all of my ‘thank yous’, I realized I thanked God for my yesterdays. I had to stop in that moment and ask myself “self, why did you say that?’ One, well it was said because I meant it, shoo. You know I had to put a little sass in there lol. Two, why the heck not?? God has brought me through!!!! Do you hear me??!!! Well, in this instance, read me?? …… Still bringing me through. Whew my goodness, when I say ‘brought me through’, I mean….. the things I felt my heart couldn’t take any more. The earlier part of this year was a sheer reflection of that…. I digress. I’ve been equipped with the wherewithal to continually heal, keep moving and continue to love. To not touch that danged fire again. To ask the questions, gain clarity and not be a martyr for people’s feelings. To innerstand that I matter… I MATTER. I matter because of my yesterdays. I wouldn’t be here if there were no yesterdays.

And neither would you
