When I hearing the saying “Seeing Life Through Rose Colored Glass” i immediately thinking of seeing all the good in the world. Never seeing the bad or negative in the world.. Hearing that saying gives me hope of this world being a great place.
I have recently heard a spin on that saying from my Sacred Swan “Seeing Life Through the Lens of Trauma”
That got me pondering what that really means?
So basically it is the complete opposite of always seeing the good. It is seeing all the bad that can or might happen. It is the inability of seeing the possibility of good things happening.
Basically it is the victim mentality.
- Nothing good ever happens to me
- This is just the calm before the storm
- There is this good thing but there are also 5 bad things
- Bad always trumps good
I realize I have been seeing life through the lens of trauma. For a very long time, I have been “stuck” in that victim mentality. Always waiting for the good things in my life to turn bad. For a very long time, I was so fearful that something bad would happen to my girls. I feel it went beyond the normal mother fear. This was more the thought that the amazing gift of my two awesome daughters would be taken away from me.
I have done my best to take those trauma glasses and break them in tiny pieces. It is time for me to remove that lens and put on those rose colored glasses. It is time to trust and believe that GOD has an amazing plan for me. And I just need to be patient and wait
To GOD Be The GLORY. Take Care. Much Love
