Essere nel momento.

I’ve never been to the Trevi Fountain at night before, it was really something special. Threw in a coin and made a wish, did lots of people watching, and enjoyed the cool air of the evening settling in. #trevifountain #rome #italy

Palm trees Italian style 🌴 #rome #italy

Just sitting, contemplating life, counting the turtles floating by 🐢

Not one of my usual airy posts. Admittedly, I have a pretty curated feed. I think my blog used to say something like, “finding beauty in the every day”. It may sound trite, but I try to do that. I try to show the joy in life, beautiful moments, pretty places, and the love I have for my children. In reality, there have been a lot of challenges over the last year(s) in particular, and I’ve felt very lost. Some things have been my fault, and I carry grief and regret for people I love and have hurt. I have lied and hurt people around me. It can be difficult to know what is right sometimes, though it may seem obvious from the outside looking in. Sometimes in the pursuit of pleasing everybody, you can hurt those you love the most, as well as yourself. The biggest lesson I am learning is that you need to be honest with yourself and with others above all else, even when that honestly is uncomfortable to admit or scary to unpack. I took these photos over the last 9 months so I would remember the pain, not to dwell in it, but because I wanted do remember where I once was, and years from now when I look back, how far I’ve come. I’m committed to being more honest with others, and myself. I am learning lessons in grace and humility. Being right all the time doesn’t matter, but doing the right thing does. Trust people when they show you their true colors, there are no excuses for behavior; that is who they are. Sometimes “that person” will be you, and admitting that you are wrong or hurt others can be scary. Apologize when you are wrong, especially to those you love or those who have loved you. They deserve that. There can be moments of pain in life that seem indescribable, but I try to remind myself that these moments of struggle are temporary, and the light will return again one day. When the world seems like it is upside down, know it will be right sided one day. I say this not because I’ve put all of my puzzle pieces back together again, but because I won’t stop working on it until I see the big picture. Faith is a choice, and I chose to have it and believe this mess will all make sense someday.
