Re: Finding my feet once again

Re: Finding my feet once again

Good Morning

Dear diary

For the last few days

I have found that calm and gentle feeling that helps me get thru my day .

It been a pleasure to find my self , and consider my self at the time to be normal .

You and I teach my self of the struggles we face every single day .

From natural concern to heath to well being , to coping balance and maintaining .

To know you feel a sense of hope joy and happiness , can help anyone get thru there struggles .

I helped a very good friend , get thru her fears of driving .

I mentioned to my friend , I'm going to stop up the road so you can drive .

My friend has never driven on a road doing more than 60kmh .

And has not been driving much , less than 20 hour's in the log book .

So to me this is a big deal , and a ordeal for my friend to drive and keep her anxiety under control while driving .

Now , just keep in mind this is the first time doing highway speeds .

As I know my self , the key to driving a vehicle .

Is to keep calm relax , be mindful and focused .

Thank god for the holidays , so the highway is so so quiet , with little next to no traffic .

So I put the challenge to my friend , of round about 15km as a distance to conquer on this day .

I was there to guide and stand by my friend , as a guided driving test to get confident and win this battle or fear of driving .

If you have never ever been confident , and never driven a car at highway speeds .

You would know how my friend is feeling .

I know life can be hard , and I know life can be difficult .

The jubilation of conquering the 15km drive .

Was a win for us both in many different ways .

But most of all , I was so proud my friend taking up the challenge .

And In the end , Im so proud of my friend .

And happy we could enjoy that moment together .

And yes

We both made it

And the thing is , when we got out of the car .

We both could not stop smiling

As I mentioned how proud I was to be there for my friend .

And love this moment to teach and be tough .

In this lesson of our lives

Live and learn

Give and share

Sending big hugs

Happy holidays

With well wishes 😌

Dear diary

I'll take to you later 😊

Oh wow! It can feel so good to help another person to achieve something so difficult.

And you have also given your own life a bit of lightness, which I think we could all use from time to time.

Well done, you!
