There but for the grace of God go I.

If there is anything I have gained in this life, it is the knowing that there is always someone who is worse off than me.

I try to keep a positive outlook and see myself as a lucky person. I may not be wealthy financially, but I have good friends, support and love in abundance. I appreciate that immensely

As with a lot of people in today’s world I have lived the past 18 months in and out of lockdown. This has been challenging and when I am feeling frustrated I remember that there are literally thousands of millions of people doing it really tough in this time of covid.

My darling angel lady Susanna is battling cancer throughout these times and still faces life with a positive attitude and a smile and a witty comment. If she can still smile then I certainly can.

I have a faith in God and believe that we all can live in Gods grace by being grateful for what we have. God may give us challenges but if we can grow and see throughout these and acknowledge that we can always learn we can see God working through us. Throughout lockdown I have been watching the little self isolation videos that Sam Neill created to help those cope with the experience of lockdown. Whenever I feel a little negativity creeping in I watch these videos and find myself smiling.

I also have the company of a lovely little dog called Lily, whom is a little canine ray of sunshine. She is happy, peaceful and contented and she brightens my life in so many ways.

I may have mental health issues, but I have learned to live with it, and absolutely believe that my journey with mental health issues has lead to my life being enriched in so many ways. I live my life without regret and value all the good I have.

If ever you find yourself being negative or judgemental in your life remember God has plans for us all, and wants all to experience his grace. Try to help those less fortunate and be happy with what you have. The grace of God is abundant in our life if only we can see it.

I wish everyone happiness, peace and love and to know the Grace of God.

  1. What a great story! I hope lots of people with mental problems get to read it as there is a lot they can learn from it. Keep up your positive outlook and your belief in God and you will have a good life.

  2. Beautifully said Kaye…there is always someone going through hardship….for some it may seem unbearable,the road may feel long and never ending.Never give up hope, believe in yourself,trust that you have the tools and the strength to endure whatever lies ahead.With love and respect for self and for others ..we can each do amazing things…when we do it together…even more amazing. We are each challenged differently..but challenges only strengthen us and inspire us to keep going…to push through,knowing there is always light at the end of the tunnel!
