So, recently the energy at MSA has been different. Astrologically speaking, it’s because Mercury is in retrograde. Empathically speaking, it’s because everyone has just become so weighed down by the dreariness of the weather.
That being said, I compiled a list of quotes for those that have been especially sad these past few weeks. There are Bible verses; however, if you are uncomfortable with reading them, you can skip over them or just negate the entire post. I promise, it’s fine! So, without further ado, here we go!!
- “There is no greater gift we can give another person than allowing them to be who they are, not who we may want them to be.”
- “So much effort goes into trying to be perfect. How much more attractive are vulnerability and imperfection?”
- “It’s tiring wanting things in the mind to be different than what they are.”
- “We are not our thoughts. We are not our emotions. If we can learn to experience them in this way, then we are free.”
- “If we’re always trying to escape difficult emotions, how can we understand them? Mindfulness is to be at ease with the mind, as it is.”
- “We do not have to slow down to be mindful. Simply to be present for each and every moment is enough.”
- “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)”
- “Bless those who persecute you. (Romans 12: 14)”
- “If someone only loves you for gain, it isn’t really love.”
- “Love is most evident when you’re in your worst state.”
- ” Maybe not everything needs a cure.”
- “Life is unmanageable, but share it with ones you love.”
- “…forget what lies behind and focus on what lies ahead. (Philippians 3:13-14)”
- “He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalms 147:3)”
I hope these help you! May you stay safe and well in this drowsy weather and may you find peace in a time of emotional imbalance. And remember, I am always open to talk. Even if it’s about nothing at all. I am always open to sit and talk with whoever needs me. Just email me at azya.lyons@msabrookhaven.org. Have a good day, and be safe!!

I need this very much!
These quotes and this whole post was just so nice to read. I’ve also noticed the shift in energy recently and this post is a great reminder that even in hard times there is still light. Thanks for writing this!
