Eyes wide open
Too often, life becomes a hamster wheel of routine where we go
through our days on autopilot, without taking time to re-evaluate
our world. So when a dramatic event like the present war suddenly
strikes, it stops us in our tracks. Suddenly we are paying more
attention to the people and relationships in our lives.
Sometimes, this phenomenon can be a catalyst toward better
appreciating those we love. Other times, the realizations that
accompany this heightened awareness highlight the components of a
relationship that aren't healthy, beneficial or emotionally
rewarding.
When events remind us that life can be short, it is natural to want
to make the best of every day. This may mean moving past a
relationship that isn't satisfying.
