Compassion

I think you can tell from my earlier posts that I'm a glass half full kind of girl. That I always look for the positive in a situation and that I believe everything happens for a reason. Lately though, and for me this is sad to say, I haven't been feeling that way. And I can see that expressed in my more recent posts.
The best way to describe how I'm feeling is apathetic. When something hurts me I usually cry a million tears, mope about for a while and then get over it. Not this time. There's a cold glaze over me and I haven't been 'feeling' as much. It's an emptiness. It's frustrating. But what it also is, is scary. I've never been so emotionally withdrawn. But I wanted to apologize for not being so upbeat and positive on here. This was about growth. The greatest growth comes in times of pain so I'm hoping that the upside after this down will be a beautiful one.
On a more positive note though - I just read a daily om article that talked about the times when life hands you one thing after another and you feel like you can't cope. Well, you can and you will. And the best way to treat yourself? With compassion through the process. I think that's what I'm gonna do...
