SEPT. 26/18 HOLDING ON TO OUR PLACE ON THE TRAIN

SHALOM DEAR READERS:

WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF OUR HOLY DAYS, AND ARE CONSTANTLY AWARE OF THE WORDS, THAT IN THIS TIME PERIOD, WE ARE JUDGED IF TO LIVE OR TO DIE, TO SUFFER OR TO ENJOY GOOD HEALTH, ETC. FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE FACING NEW SETBACKS AND/OR VERY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS, IT CAN BE A SAD AND REFLECTIVE MODE OF LIVING.

AS I HAVE OFTEN REFERRED TO THE 'TRAIN OF LIFE'. WE ARE ALL ON BOARD, SOME PEOPLE GET OFF AS THEIR TIME HAS PASSED. WE HANG ON TO OUR SEARS AND HOPE TO STAY ON THIS TRAIN FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN. IT IS MOST DIFFICULT TO THINK THAT WE TOO WILL HAVE TO GET OFF OF THE TRAIN AT SOME POINT. BUT SO MUCH WISH TO BE THERE WITH OUR FAMILIES, OUR LOVED ONES, WITH LIFE.

I HAVE NO GOOD ANSWERS; A FACT OF LIFE IS THAT WE ARE HERE FOR A LIMITED TIME, THE RICH, THE POOR, THE WONDERUL  PEOPLE, THE UNFORTUNATE, THE WEALTHY, THE POOR, THE TZADIKIM, ETC.

AND SO, I KEEP REMINDING MYSELF AND ALL OF US TO BE GRATEFUL FOR THE 'NOW'. WE HAVE TODAY, TO SOMEHOW SOAK IN THE GOOD OF THIS WORLD. LIVE NOW. TOMORROW IS GONE, NONE OF US KNOW THE FUTURE (EVEN THE HEALTHY ONES). BUT LET'S COUNT OUR BLESSINGS TODAY, AND MAKE THE MOST OF IT. BY GIVING TO OTHERS AND NOT ONLY TO OURSELVES, WE CAN BE FILLED WITH SATISFACTION AND ABUNDANCE. LET'S JOT DOWN EVERY GOOD ELEMENT IN OUR LIVES- ONCE A DAY, ONCE A WEEK- TO BE AWARE OF WHAT WE HAVE. MAYBE WE HAVE NOT ALLOWED OURSELVES TO ENJOY MORE, TO LOVE MORE, TO RELAX MORE, TO GIVE OF OURSELVES MORE. PAIN AND THE SERIOUSNESS OF ILLNESS MAKES IT DIFFICULT AND SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE TO ZERO IN ON THE GOODNESS IN LIFE!

MAY PRAYER FOR ALL OF US IS TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES AS BEST WE CAN, TO LIVE AND ENJOY DESPITE THE NEGATIVES. G. BLESS ALL OF US ON OUR TRAIN OF LIFE. HOPEFULLY, WE WILL CONNECT AGAIN AT THE END OF OCTOBER.
DON'T HESITATE TO RESPOND TO MY MONTHLY WORDS.

ACCEPTANCE IS HARD, HARD, DIFFICULT, DIFFICULT. BUT WE ARE HERE TODAY, NOW. LET'S LIVE AS WE THINK FOR OUR GOOD.  MY BEST WISHES.......
