Trauma

Loss and Rebirth

Note: This is the first of a two-part series
 
It has been almost seventeen years since my house burned to the ground, destroying everything I owned. The trauma, so vivid when it occurred---and it remained vivid for years---has faded into a more distant memory. Whatever I lost has been replaced---and I've made peace with the loss of those things that couldn't be replaced. I lost having a familiar world that I had put so much of myself into. I lost having favorite clothes, or comfortable well-broken in shoes.

It's the end and the beginning. It's the end of the year, and it's the beginning of a new year, and all of us have a choice: we can look backwards and dwell on the triumphs and tragedies, the victories and the defeats regarding what last year brought, or we can look forward--- toward the new year and into our future---to what possibilities, opportunities, visions or dreams the new year may hold for us.
 
Let me invite you to look forward.
