Donna writes about her one little word for 2017, the word Reach.
Reach can touch so many emotions... you reach for love or you reach to save. You reach to comfort or you reach to achieve.
So, when we reach it pulls us out of our comfort zone, over our personal protection wall where we hide so people or the world can not hurt us.
Hiding... really how boring is that!
I start every morning reaching... for my toes (I wish) a cup of coffee. That small urn of comfort starts my day quietly and calmly. No coffee... look out!
I reach out to my friends and family to reassure myself that they are all good. This is a personal reach. I'm sure they like to know I care but it eases my mind more than theirs.
I reach out to creative side and try to work but confess that reach has been short lately.
I reach out to my animals and fill my title of caregiver.
There were times that title held much more responsibly. I was caregiver to sick family members, a parent raising kids and a grandmother just loving those babies.
The reaching out to kids and grandbabies are different today... they don't need raising anymore but they still need to know you love them.
