On Sunday, 9/27/15, it will be the first anniversary of Dan?s death so I wanted to share my thoughts and reflections about the last year in a unique way..using the letters of his name.
D is for determination to fight through the pain and to find the strength to take on each day with as much confidence, courage and fearlessness as I can find
A is for adaptability to adjust my path in life and be open to new things recognizing that so much is beyond our control
N is for neutrality to stop participating in conflict and hateful behavior to begin to achieve a much more peaceful life
I is for innovation and flexibility to confront challenges and, most importantly, change head on
E is for endurance to continue the personal growth and development that occurs as we all inevitably evolve and transform into someone else who now has been through a very painful and devastating life experience
L is for love to share it, never take it for granted and to be grateful for it
It?s hard for me to believe it?s been a year since I started this awful journey, so much has changed. But, by taking it one day at a time, trying my best to stay positive and keeping my head up, I am doing alright?not wonderful or awesome, just alright and that works for now. As we all pass through these anniversaries/milestones, whether it be weeks, months or years, I wish everyone on this board positive thoughts, many blessings and peace as you travel along your own path.
