ALONG THE JOURNEY OF LIFE, JAN. 2019

HELLO/SHALOM OUT THERE:

THIS PAST MONTH HAS BEEN QUITE DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING, AS MANY GET CANCER AND/OR MORE COMPLICATIONS. THE TRAIN OF LIFE IS LETTING TOO MANY OF MY DEAR ONES GET OFF PERMANENTLY.

THAT IS THE REALITY OF LIFE!

THE MAIN WAY I COPE WITH MY REALITIES IS TO GRAB ONTO TODAY,. WE CAN'T CHANGE YESTERDAY, WE CAN'T PREDICT WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING, BUT WE CAN DEAL WITH BETTERING OUR TODAY. TO GIVE GRATITUDE FOR EVERY GOOD THING OR PERSON IN OUR LIVES, TO MAKE THE BEST OF EACH DAY-TO READ, TO RELAX, TO VISIT WITH LOVING FRIENDS AND FAMILY, TO DO WHAT MAKES US FEEL GOOD. AT THE SAME TIME, OF COURSE, WE MUST DO WHATEVER MEDICAL NEEDS ARE UPON US TO DO TO TRY TO BETTER OUR SITUATION.

  LET'S REMEMBER PRAYER, MEDITATION, EXERCISE, AND YES, EVEN 'FUN' ACTIVITIES.

AT SOME POINT WE ALL, YOU, ME, MY DEAREST FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL BE TAKEN OFF THE TRAIN AS IT JOURNEYS ALONG. THAT IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. BUT WE CAN TAKE STEPS ALONG THIS TRIP. VISIT ANOTHER ONE IN MORE NEED THAN OURS. HELP A NEIGHBOR, CALL BY PHONE IF WE CAN'T GET OUT OURSELVES.

I WISH US ALL ENJOYMENT OF THE TIME THAT WE HAVE-LET'S LAUGH A LITTLE OR A LOT, LET'S DANCE WITH LIFE NOW, AS BEST WE CAN.
UNTIL NEXT MONTH, G. WILLING,
CHW
