SERIOUSLY SPEAKING – LEARNING FROM TRAGEDY

 Two questions that frequently come up in the aftermath of tragedy:
   
    Is it okay to celebrate life in the face of tragedy?
   
    Is it okay to complain about minor problems in the face of tragedy?

While the suffering of others can put things into perspective for us, it doesn’t negate the continuation of our own lives. 

We actually honor others by continuing to work through our issues.  

We may be powerless in regards to their tragedies, but we can use the wake-up call they afford us to approach our own celebrations and difficulties with humility, grace and determination.




DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas...


How can tragedy teach us to enhance our lives?

*Remind yourself that each day is precious.  There are no guarantees of tomorrow!

*Find something to appreciate every day.  Once you get in the habit it’s really easy!

*Smile at yourself in the mirror!

*Smile at one stranger each day/

*Give a friend a hug!
