Worrying over what may or may not have been lost is like asking for hopelessness and depression. Instead of focusing on perceived losses, I am learning to look for new opportunities for growth. Maybe my partner can’t move as fast anymore so we don’t go jogging, we take a walk. Maybe my partner isn’t as adept with a fork and a knife so we try new different restaurants or foods that are finger friendly. Maybe I can’t participate in some of my old hobbies, so I picked up a new one called Rock Steady Boxing and made a lot of new friends as well. We can let PD be a cloud over our lives or we can look for that silver lining and learn to shine. I prefer to shine!
