I love this line, Lisa: “it’s possible for your outer world to fall apart without taking your inner world with it.” I like to think of Corona Cafe as a place where we get to meet and appreciate each other’s inner worlds. Such a tender way to connect.
It’s hard to be hopeful when things are hard for you and the people you love. When I feel really down with it all I try to remind myself that tomorrow is another day and that is hopeful. Even if the day is difficult it’s a new day, fresh and new to live my best life in ❤️
I love the idea of each day being fresh and new. Some days it’s easy to feel the newness of the day, and some days it’s hard, but I try to pause as I open my curtains each morning and make a point of being present to greet the dawn.
This was a lovely post, thank you. I'm not sure I have anything to contribute. I've had my outer and inner worlds fall apart over the last few years. When I don't have hope, habit keeps me going. When I do have hope, I have mostly found that in writing.
Thank you so much for sharing, Melanie! Just putting words to your experience and feelings is such a huge contribution. Sometimes, habit might be all we have to go on. I hope that it the moment when hope feels impossible, habit will carry you to the next patch of light. Writing is one of the habits that helps me the most, too!
I love that phrase - giving life time. Thank you for sharing, Shinanne! So much of what you wrote mirrors my experiences. My relationships have definitely changed in response to illness. Sometimes that has felt like a loss, but I’m coming to feel that having a few friends who really support and get me is much more valuable than having a gaggle of superficial friendships. There are gifts embedded in the losses.

Thank you so much, friend! So grateful for every glimpse I get of your inner world. ❤️
Thanks for this lovely message of hope Lisa. : )
