the ship in your harbour

I am trying to best understand what separates the broken from the not and how we can manoeuvre through life with as much courage, strength and grace as possible. I figure if I can gain all of these things during easier days then when hard days hit I can handle anything with a performance deserving a standing o.

But the irony is always that you can best gain depth of character through hardship, rarely with that other smooth sailing ship.

But which  ship lands in our harbour is decided in some larger part by us. We  name her- we decide if it is hard, if it is the ‘worst of times’ or just an interesting time, a challenging time and a time to grow.

That’s it; an opportunity for growth.

Can we say that to ourselves?

This re framing works like magic

 

I was struck by a moment that was my favourite last week, which was a full week- and a  good -ship week. How can something so simple be the very best moment?
