well, life tends to work well after a crisis if we've done the hard as he11 work.
And then time passes...& a curve in the road comes or we have a setback or a new challenge, or a new love (which can be all of those other things)
and all I can tell you is that while things are smooth and have sunk in a bit, you reach out and help others, paying it forward. AND YOU ARE...
When the curve ball comes or even, God forbid another blow, you will use the tools we've all gained here and where our other resources were/are.
As you know, my mom's facing a rapid decline, & losing her will hurt me a lot...my kids have issues with their dad and he with them, and NOT all will work out perfectly.
But b/c of the tools I've gained here and at the workshop I attended, I want to say Nothing will bring me to my knees again...but I'll be specific, only the death of one of my children could bring me to my knees again, for very long.
Sure, I may fall down hard again. I expect to b/c hey, my mom is dying. But now I know that I know how to get up again.
So enjoy the relative calm you have right now. I think b/c of your background (and mine) we tend to expect the other shoe to drop when things are good...like "well, what NOW??"
But now, there's a different. NOW, you know that if another shoe drops & you find yourself on your knees again, you'll know where to look for your help, and HE'll bring you back up
and we and other resources you have, will be here to keep you steady...
I think that's where you might be LATER but for now, you're in a sweet place. ENJOY that jeep too.
The jeep Is a symbol of success & achievement in a few different ways for you.
You're allowed to enjoy a reward you earned.
