Another friend of mine now has Breast Cancer. She has a big job, two kids, a partner who isn't always on top of things and she financially carries the family. I met with her in the park and we hugged and cried, remembering what an ordeal surgery and treatment were for me as she faces her own journey. I remembered what Angeles Arrien had said in the Gratitude workshop...."focus on what IS working". My friend texted me a few days later and said "focusing on what's working..its like working with negative space..it reveals itself if you avail yourself." It's been said that you tell people things you need to hear yourself. That is the truth on this one. What IS working is there for everyone to see, but often invisible to those closest to it. I came home embraced my family, and felt grateful to be able to support my beautiful friend.
