I don’t know about you, but it seems that my family has been immersed in a lot of major transitions lately. Some have been welcomed and others have been less so. Each of course are endings of one chapter and the beginnings of others. But sometimes, even with the best intentions, we can be reluctant to turn the page.
My grandma is currently going through her transition from this life, and it has allowed me the opportunity to reflect upon her life and the lessons it has taught me. For the last 20 years, she has chosen to opt-out of life. Growing up my memories of her were that she was always filled with joy and happiness. She was active, social, and deeply in love. Then my grandpa died, and with him, her world and purpose did too. At least that’s how she interpreted it.
She believed that the part of the story she lived so long ago – her glory days – were as good as it gets. She failed to see how anything could compare to it, let alone surpass it. She did not give herself a chance to discover or welcome the amazing things were coming her way. She chose to stop growing.
So it makes me pause and reflect about my own life. I ask myself, “Where in my life am I choosing to re-read my last chapter rather than open myself to the possibilities of what might lie ahead?”
I invite you to ask yourself the same question. You may be surprised to discover what you hear in your own answer.
