In Others’ Words: Progress

Sometimes progress is hard.

It’s tears.

And throwing myself on the floor in a virtual old-fashioned wail of a temper tantrum.

And sitting in silence because there … are … no … words.

And venting the emotion that won’t be exhausted no matter how much I hash it out. Again and again and again.

But sometimes, oh hallelujah! Laughter is progress.

Realizing I’m no longer who I was. Realizing God was working in me — and loving me — when I was who I was back then.

Realizing letting go … and saying no … and believing I’m right no matter what someone else might be thinking … can be the very best choice.

Laughter is my favorite sound … but I love it even more now that I embrace it as a sign of progress.
