Today's moment is inspired by BFF, for today seemed to be a breakthrough day for her. As her friend, it's been hard to watch her struggle with all that life has thrown at her over the past year plus. From work challenges, to physical challenges (and disappointments) to silly and sometimes complicated personal challenges from friends, family and co-workers; quite simply she has run the gauntlet.
It hasn't been easy. It wasn't always run with a smile on her face or a warmth in her heart, but as compelling as the draw of the dark pit can be, she managed to side-step the pit and walk forward, through the gauntlet with dignity every step of the way.
And today, TODAY was the first day where I the depth of the sunshine in her words. Today, BFF completed another big step forward on her path to recovery. She was lit up. Cautious, but filled with light again. I can see that she is starting to believe that she is on the path to better days.
And that, is a most beautiful moment indeed.
Moments having pride for your friend's hard work.
Moments knowing that today your friend is in a brighter place.
