APRIL, 2018 LIFE'S JOURNEY CONTINUES, THANK G.

AFTER A DIFFICULT MONTH OF A WRENCHED SHOULDER, WITH PAIN GALORE, AND MUCH FATIGUE, MY THINKING HAS NOW BEEN FOCUSED ON 'ACCEPTANCE'.

CAN I DWELL ON ACCEPTING WHERE I AM AT, AND NOT FALLING INTO DEPRESSION AND BEING 'REALLY DOWN',  .....         OR CAN I ACCEPT THAT THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT? GETTING OLDER, THANKFULLY, BUT FEELING MUCH STRENGTH EBBING OUT OF ME.

AT THE SAME TIME, FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES AROUND ME ARE ILL AND ARE DYING. THEORETICALLY, WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS IS THE FATE OF ALL ANIMALS, OF NATURE'S HABITAT, -TO LIVE, TO SHINE, AND EVENTUALLY TO DIE.

WE THINK THAT 'OTHERS' GET REALLY SICK AND DIE, BUT WE? WE ARE STILL YOUNG INSIDE, AND 'MILES TO GO BEFORE WE SLEEP.' WE WISH TO LIVE AND TO ENJOY LIFE WITH ALL ITS PITFALLS, BUT ALSO WITH ALL ITS WONDERS-FAMILY, CHILDREN, BABIES, GRANDCHILDREN.

AND SO, DEAR READERS, LET US THINK AND SOMEHOW SOLVE OR TRY TO SOLVE FOR OURSELVES THAT the art of acceptance! WHERE ARE ARE RIGHT NOW, AND SOMEHOW COME TO TERMS WITH THE FINALITY OF LIFE, HOPEFULLY BEING FAR OFF, BUT ENABLING US TO 'ENDURE' AND RISE ABOVE THE PAIN,THE DISAPPOINTMENT, THE ANGUISH OF NOT BEING WHAT WE ONCE WERE!

THAT IS MY CHALLENGE AND I DARE SAY THE CHALLENGE OF ALL OF US!
MAY G. BLESS ALL OF US AND I WISH US ALL GOOD HEALTH AND ACCEPTANCE AND LOVE!
