Umbrellas

There was recently a photo in The Dispatch taken on a gray, rainy day last week. It showed a dark, drab city skyline with a man carrying a bright red umbrella in the foreground. The red umbrella not only protected him from the chilly drizzle, but it was like a bright beacon in a dreary picture.


This photo sparked a thought: When the stressors are raining down, what could our "umbrellas" be? How can we use this umbrella to help us grow toward or maintain wellness?

Perhaps:

A phone call to a trusted, supportive friend

Five minutes of slow, deep breathing

A quick walk around the block


Keep thinking! We'll explore this a bit more at our meeting tonight.
