Today actually feels like a dream where I feel like I’m going through the motions of life.

As I sit here waiting while Stella is in surgery my thoughts take over. A part of me knows she will be ok and the other starts over analyzing the statistics they discuss with you prior to surgery. Then I think about Vincenzo, our first born and how he had to have two surgeries. Soon he will have to have his third. This is how I overthink everything that has and has not happened yet!

My head is spinning!

As a human I’m sure you can relate to a ‘moment’ in your life where this has happened.

I reflect back to those moments, they now seam so distant! I try and focus on the present moment and not on the past and the old ugly feelings, or the future and its unknown. I choose to focus on this exact moment.

What can I do in this moment to connect to happiness?

For me, I find prayer and walking helps. Fresh air clears my mind and it allows me breathe!

In moments of trauma, find your happy spot.

If you need to cry then cry! If you need to yell then yell! Let out whatever emotion you need in order to get closer to a happy feeling! The last thing you want to do is suppress your feelings because chances are they will rise and show up in other ways, like fear, anger or even depression!

I’m not here to always talk about sad stuff, and this “stuff” is not meant to make you sad but to show you that we are all human and that these days are only “moments” in our lives.

Sharing this with you allows me to grow and to overcome these emotions!

I hope that by sharing these “moments” in my life, you find some peace and encouragement in yours.

Moments in your journey are lessons to be learned. They allow growth and knowledge.

They do not define who you are.
