It's Just Water Under The Bridge: Resilience Through Life's Storms With a Traumatic Brain Injury

Too often we find ourselves living in the rearview mirror. Yet as Ralph Waldo Emmerson said, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

It took DeLynn Cooley five decades to learn that she had the power within her to find happiness and change her present by not staying stuck in the past.

After she found her car plummeting into the water below a bridge, resulting in a traumatic brain injury,she was stuck looking back in the rearview mirror. It took her a while to realize it is just water under the bridge.

In this powerful book, It’s Just Water under the Bridge, Cooley recounts her life story and lessons learned while encouraging the reader to find their own happiness. Through finding a relationship with God, restoring her health, and diving into personal development, Cooley broke free of the mirror, pushed the water back under the bridge, and moved forward in happiness. As you read of her journey, you will find yourself in the pages living through her experiences.

We all are here having a human experience and too often we get stuck in the rut of life, playing the blame game, dwelling on the past, and letting self-limiting beliefs rule our inner world.

It’s time to break out of that pattern and to look at what is inside of us. We are children of God, and we can find the power within us to change despite what lies behind us.
