Richo's a bit of a Buddhist, so that's part of it too...all things change and often end. That was SO hard for me! I wanted things to get comfortable and then freeze them in place so they'd be like that forever, and I was so incredibly angry and sad when that didn't happen.
I had to learn to trust that when things changed it was because my hp had a different plan for me, a different lesson I needed to learn, or a suffering that he was steering me away from, or a different road I needed to take in order to become a stronger, kinder, wiser person. It was so hard to learn not to question that...after my dreadful childhood I was just anxious for some smooth sailing for the rest of my life, no problems, no crises. And that wasn't what hp had in mind...looking back, I see there was always a plan for me.
Love,
