ALONG THE TRAIN OF LIFE, MARCH 2019

SHALOM/HELLO TO MY READERS:

AS TIME MARCHES ON, SO FAR, SO DO WE. ON OUR ROUTE THROUGH LIFE, WE ARE MEETING VERY CRITICAL, PAINFUL MOMENTS. WHERE DO WE REACH OUT, AND TO WHOM? I KNOW THAT I HAVE OFTEN CRAWLED INTO MY LITTLE SHELL, AND TRIED TO HIBERNATE AMONGST MY TEARS, FEARS, AND DEPRESSION. YET A PHONE CALL FROM A FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR, AND ESPECIALLY FROM A CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER SPEAKS VOLUMES TO US. SOMEONE CARES, LOVES, WORRIES ABOUT US.

 I AM SUGGESTING TO ALL OF US, INCLUDING TO MYSELF, THAT WE DO REACH OUT FOR FRIENDSHIP, HELP, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND FRIENDSHIP,

 MAN IS NOT MADE TO LIVE UTTERLY ALONE. MANY OF US REACH OUT TO OUR CREATOR, BUT RIGHT HERE ON EARTH, WE NEED PEOPLE. 'PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE', A SAYING /SONG WAS SO POPULAR. SOCIALIZING HELPS TO BRING OUT OUR SMILES AND HOPEFULNESS. A LUNCH WITH A FRIEND TO SIT AND ENJOY, AND TO SHARE OUR WORRIES AND HARDSHIPS, AND YES, EVEN OUR SUCCESSES HOWEVER SMALL.

MY WISH FOR THIS MONTH IS FOR ME AND FOR YOU, THAT WE DO REACH OUT TO OTHERS, TO SHARE, TO ENCOURAGE ON OUR TRAIN RIDE THRU' LIFE. LET'S BE KIND TO OURSELVES, DO THINGS TO MAKE US SMILE- BUY A GOOD BOOK THAT YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO GET, GO TO A CONCERT, RELAX IN YOUR COZY ABODE. BUT LET US NOT FORGET THAT OTHERS ARE PERHAPS NOT SURE WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR US, BUT LET'S LET THEM EASE OUR BURDEN .

I WISH ALL OF US AS APRIL IS UPON  US WHICH MEANS SPRING, PASSOVER,
EASTER, FLOWERS BLOOMING, SUNNY SKIES, MANY SMILES AND GRATITUDE FOR WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. LET'S TRY TO FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE, AND MAKE EACH DAY A DAY OF GRATITUDE  FOR WHATEVER GOOD WE FIND IN OUR LIVES. HARDSHIPS ARE PART OF THIS TRAIN RIDE, BUT ARE MOMENTS OF PLEASURE, IF WE LOOK FOR THEM.

UNTIL NEXT MONTH, G. WILLING,
MY BEST WISHES ,
