Thankful.

In the therapy group, we always start with thinking about ourselves. How are we doing today? This time we use cards with feelings on them and everyone chooses the cards that apply right now. One of those cards is then chosen to make an additional piece in the shape of a fish. What does that feeling look like?

She chooses thankfulness. One of the tickets she had chosen.

Then she writes a poem:

Thankfulness
Sunny warmth
Always found inside
How do I unwind and find her?
Faith

The warmth radiates from the drawing.
While thankfulness can always be found within, it is not always visible.
And that’s not surprising given the situation she’s in. She is still looking for her way in another country where she has to start all over again, while waiting for the moment she can return home… So, how do you make choices?

In the poem, she gives herself an answer: faith.
Faith in the good, faith in God, there I find my rest.
