Sorrow is to the soul what the worm is to the apple.
This is from a Turkish proverb that actually says “Sorrow is to the soul what the worm is to the wood” but the point remains the same.
When we live in sadness it eats up our spirit and our soul. Once it takes up home, it is very difficult to evict – but it can be done – especially with support and help. I was amazed in today’s twitter chat that so many amazing people deal with AS and yet have found a way to focus on the positives, look for the good, and pull together to support one another.
For me, seeing this strength and courage has been the biggest surprise and blessing of this journey. We all need love and support, but especially we need attention and care. We’ve all been in the place of desperation – any support that you can give to people who are going through a bad time helps them immensely. You make a difference by connecting with others who need the kindness and care you can give. Reach out today – your spirit will lift when you do and someone else’s sorrow will lessen.
Until tomorrow.
