AS LIFE ROLLS ON, WE ARE WITNESS TO SPECIAL MOMENTS AND TO SOME UNHAPPY TIMES. THAT IS THE NATURE OF LIFE-HILLS AND VALLEYS IN OUR LIVES AND IN THE MOVEMENT HERE ON THIS PLANET.
I TALKED ABOUT ACCEPTANCE LAST MONTH. SO MUCH EASIER TO DO WHEN WE HAVE LITTLE PAIN. BUT SOMEHOW WE MUST RIDE THE WAVES, GET SOME MEDICATION IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, AND CONCENTRATE ON WHAT MAKES US HAPPY, EVEN MOMENTARILY. IS IT A GOOD BOOK OR VISITING OVER COFFEE AND MORE WITH FRIENDS, OR YOUR FAVORITE FAMILY MEMBER, OR TREATING OURSELVES AS A SPECIAL PERSON, AND DOING WHAT PLEASES US, NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS TELL US TO DO AND FEEL.
YES, ACCEPTANCE DOES NOT MEAN THINGS ARE OR WILL BE PERFECT. BUT WE LIVE IN AN IMPERFECT WORLD. BEAUTY IS THERE FOR US TO FIND IN THIS WORLD-WHETHER IT BE LISTENING TO THE CHIRPING OF THE SPRING BIRDS, WATCHING IN AWE AT THE FLOWERING GARDENS AND FIELDS, TAKING A DAY FOR OURSELVES-NO EXPLANATIONS NEEDED-TO REST, TO VEGETATE. TO WATCH YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW, YOU NAME IT- IT IS WAITING THERE FOR YOU AND ME TO REACH OUT AND CLAIM IT FOR OURSELVES. THE REALITY OF PAIN MAY BE THERE-PERFECTION ISN'T NEEDED. TIME TO PAMPER OURSELVES IN WHATEVER SPEAKS TO US.
AND SO, AS SUMMER APPROACHES US WITH ITS BEAUTY OF SEASONS AND ITS DOWNSIDE OF PERHAPS BEING TOO HOT FOR SOME OF US. BUT LIFE IS RIGHT OUT THERE FOR US TO GRAB-WE CAN'T CHANGE WHAT WAS, WE DON'T KNOW THE FUTURE, BUT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW-TO LIVE AS BEST WE CAN. WE COUNT IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS, AND LET'S CLAIM WHAT IS GOOD FOR US!
WISHING US ALL TO FEEL BETTER, EVEN WELL, AND TO SURF THOSE WAVES OF DIFFICULTY, AND DRAW OUT THE MEANINGFUL BEAUTIFUL THINGS WE WANT AT THIS TIME.
BEST WISHES TO US ALL, UNTIL NEXT MONTH.

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!

MARCH 4, 2018 thank G. WE ARE STILL ALONG LIFE'S JOURNEY
SHALOM DEAR READERS:
AS WE MEET OUR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS ALONG OUR TRAIN RIDE THRU' LIFE, ARE WE WEIGHED DOWN BY SADNESS, WORRYING, CRYING, KVETCHING, AND DESPONDENCY. THAT IS A CHOICE WE CAN AND OFTEN MAKE, ME INCLUDED.
BUT.....CAN WE TEACH OURSELVES TO BE HAPPY RIGHT NOW TODAY, DESPITE ALL, TO BE THANKFUL FOR BEING ALIVE, FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO LEAN ON SOMEWHAT, FOR G. LETTING US APPRECIATE THE WARM SUNNY DAYS AS THEY COME, THE BUDDING FLOWERS, THE DAILY MIRACLES WE WITNESS OR HEAR ABOUT?
WE DO HAVE A CHOICE -TO LINGER IN THE 'MUCK' OF OUR LIVES, OR TO SOAR WITH WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, AT THIS MOMENT, IN THIS WONDROUS DAY OF CREATION! IT IS SO EASY TO STAY DOWN IN THE VALLEY WITH OUR ACHES AND PAINS, AND IT TAKES DETERMINATION TO SOAR UP AND SEE THAT RIGHT NOW, TODAY, WE HAVE ......... EACH OF US CAN AND I SUGGEST TO DO, A CONCRETE LIST IN FRONT OF US OF ALL THAT WE DO HAVE GOING FOR US AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. IT TAKES COURAGE TO DO THIS AND TO STAY IN A MORE UPBEAT MOOD AND TEMPO.
I , FOR ONE, TEND TO FALL DOWN WHEN THINGS ARE DIFFICULT. BUT I AM TRYING NOW TO DAILY SAY 'THANK YOU, G' FOR MY RISING TODAY, FOR SEEING THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD, DESPITE ITS VERY UNPLEASANT HAPPENINGS . WHAT DO WE SAY

SHALOM DEAR READERS:
HOW ARE WE FARING ON THE SCALE OF HOPE, OPTIMISM TODAY? ARE WE THINKING AND FEELING NEGATIVITY DUE TO OUR PAINS, AND TRIALS, AND LONELINESS? HOW DID I GUESS? ONLY BECAUSE WE ARE ALL HUMAN, AND IT IS SO EASY TO BE DOWN IN THE DUMPS AND NEGATIVE. I HAVE BEEN THERE, AND STILL FALL THERE. BUT I HEARD A WONDERFUL LECTURE RE 'MAKING OURSELVES HAPPY', AND THUS, I AM REFOCUSING MY NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AND HOPING TO DAILY REMEMBER WHAT GOOD DO I HAVE IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW! NOT WHAT WAS IN THE PAST, BUT WHAT DO I HAVE -SOME FAMILY, A GOOD FRIEND OR FRIENDS, A HOME TO BE IN, SOME NATURE TO ADMIRE AND BE PART OF, SOME HOPE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS TO RISE ABOVE SELF PITY AND TO 'SOAK IN' THE POSITIVE .
CAN WE CHOOSE HAPPINESS OVER SADNESS, DESPITE OUR TRIALS AND PAINS, AND YES, THEY ARE THERE. BUT WE ARE ALIVE TODAY, AT THIS MOMENT, AND MAYBE G. IS NOT FINISHED WITH US YET. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MYSELF, TO APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY AROUND ME, THE GOOD IN THE WORLD, TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE?
SO, MY CHALLENGE TO MYSELF AND TO YOU, DEAR READER, IS LET'S SEE IF WE CAN MENTALLY AND EVEN IN WRITING TO NOTE ALL THE GOOD HAPPENINGS OR FEELINGS THAT MAKE US HAPPY EVEN FOR A FEW MOMENTS!
I WISH US ALL A CHOICE OF BEING HAPPY AS OPPOSED TO BEING SAD, ALTHOUGH......G. BLESS US ALL IN THIS MONTH OF MARCH!

FEB. 2018-THANK G. STILL ALONG MY JOURNEY OF LIFE!
SHALOM TO ANY READERS:
FIRST OF ALL, TO WISH ALL OF US A GOOD WEEK IN THIS NEW MONTH OF FEBRUARY, 2018. I WISH FOR ALL OF US WHILE WE COPE WITH LIFE AND ITS UPS AND DOWNS, ITS HILLS AND VALLEYS, FOR THE COURAGE TO KEEP GOING, TO KEEP OUR SPIRITS FOCUSED ON WHAT WE DO HAVE RIGHT NOW, TODAY, THAT GIVES UP INSPIRATION TO CONTINUE ON, DESPITE WHATEVER WE HAVE TO COPE WITH.
YESTERDAY IS GONE, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT LIES IN THE FUTURE, SO LET'S TAKE THIS MOMENT, THIS DAY TO BREATHE AND SMILE AND TO FORGE AHEAD. LET'S DO SOMETHING NICE FOR OURSELVES-PHONE A FRIEND, READ AND RELAX, MEDITATE, TAKE A SOOTHING SHOWER OR BATH, AND JUST 'BE'. WE ARE ALIVE NOW- LET'S TAKE A SPECIAL LOOK AT WHAT WE DO HAVE, RATHER THAN WHAT WE DON'T HAVE.
SOMEHOW, WRITING HELPS ONE TO SEE ON PAPER, WHAT GOOD AND WONDERFUL THINGS ARE IN OUR PERSONAL PICTURE. I HAVE AN ABUNDANCE LIST-I ENTER ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK 5 GOOD THINGS THAT I HAVE IN MY LIFE TODAY, RIGHT NOW. I CAN ALWAYS LOOK BACK AND SEE JUST HOW MUCH I REALLY HAVE, DESPITE THE NEGATIVES, WHICH I DON'T LIST. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO READ AND RE-READ OUR GOOD BLESSINGS. TRY IT ONCE!
WITH MY BEST WISHES FOR A GOOD HEALTHIER MONTH1
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, G. WILLING

JAN. 1-2018 LIFE MARCHES ON.......
SHALOM TO MY READERS:
AFTER LAST MONTH'S FASHLA, I WILL NOW AIM FOR THE FIRST OF EACH MONTH TO MAKE MY ENTRY, SAME TIME AS I PREPARE FOR THE CANCER GROUP WHICH I LEAD, AND HOPEFULLY WHERE I GIVE SOME TIPS, HOPES FOR DEALING WITH WHAT ONE MUST IN EACH SITUATION.
I HAVE HAD THE PRECIOUS PERIOD OF FEELING 'NORMAL' ALMOST. ALMOST MEANS FOR SURE SOME PARTS OF MY BODY AND SPIRIT GET KNOCKED AROUND, BUT MANAGEABLE. THAT IS THE TIME TO REALLY BE AWARE OF GIVING GRATITUDE AND THANKFULNESS FOR THESE PRECIOUS MOMENTS. WE KNOW THAT IN OUR LIVES WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE HILLS AND VALLEYS TO CROSS. BUT LET'S GRAB AND HOLD ONTO THE UPS WHEN WE ARE ON A HILL, AND USE OUR COURAGE AND STAMINA TO HOLD ON WHEN DOWN IN THE VALLEY. SOME SAY THAT WE LEARN THE MOST WHEN WE ARE DOWN IN OUR VALLEY. I'M NOT SURE OF THAT.
BUT I KNOW THAT EACH OF US HAVE INNER STRENGTH FROM THE BIBLE, FROM WARM AND CARING FRIENDS, FAMILY, MOTIVATING ARTICLES TO HELP US THROUGH THE ROUGH TIMES. AND IF WE ARE 'ALONE' AT SOME POINTS, WE HAVE OURSELVES WITH OUR INNER STRENGTH AND HARD HARD WORK TO KEEP US GOING. LET'S TREAT OURSELVES WITH LOVE-PAMPER OURSELVES AS WELL. LET'S NOT WAIT FOR OTHERS TO PAT US ON THE BACK. WHATEVER WE MUST ENCOUNTER, LET US TREAT OURSELVES WELL-WITH GOOD FOOD, GOOD BOOKS, A WARM HOME. EACH OF US HAS HIS/HER CHOICES OF WHAT FEELS GOOD.
WE HAVE TODAY, NOW. THE PAST IS GONE, THE FUTURE IS UNKNOWN. SO LET'S CELEBRATE LIFE TODAY, EVEN AMIDST OUR ACHES AND WORRIES.
G. BLESS ALL OF US FOR A HEALTHIER 2018.

3/12/17 ALONG LIFE'S JOURNEY
I APOLOGIZE TO MYSELF AND TO ANY READERS FOR NOT WRITING THESE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT WAS A TOTAL SENIOR FORGETFULNESS ! IT TOOK A GRANDSON ASKING ME IF I AM CONTINUING MY BLOG, THAT SHOOK ME INTO REALITY. AGING SEEMS TO REALLY KICK IN, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE HAVING MANY VALLEYS , AND LESS HILLS IN LIFE.
WHAT CAN I SAY? I FIND MYSELF MUCH SLOWER PHYSICALLY, AND MANY PHYSICAL CHALLENGES COME MORE AND MORE. BUT.... I DO HANG IN, AND DEAL WITH EACH ASPECT, ALWAYS THANKFUL THOUGH THAT SO FAR, NO CANCER HAS COME BACK YET.
BUT MY FATIGUE IS ENDLESS, AND REALLY INHIBITS MANY ACTIVITIES. NEVERTHELESS, I TRY TO KEEP UP WITH MY CANCER GROUP THAT I LEAD, TO READ , TO RELAX, TO MEDITATE, TO KEEP FIT PHYSICALLY AS MUCH AS I CAN, AND THEN SIMPLY, TO 'PETER OUT,'. GRATITUDE KEEPS ME AWARE OF ALL THE GOOD I HAVE DESPITE WHAT I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH. MY DIARY OF 'ABUNDANCE' HELPS ME SEE ALL THE POSITIVES IN MY LIFE, HOWEVER SLOWER I CAN ACCOMPLISH.
I HOPE THAT YOU, THE READER, WILL FORGIVE MY ABSENCE. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN
REMEMBER THAT WE ALL HAVE OUR HILLS AND VALLEYS TO CROSS AND DEAL WITH I WISH ALL OF US GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD THANKFULNESS FOR WHAT WE
DO HAVE! LET'S CELEBRATE NOW, TODAY, FOR THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE!
G. BLESS US ALL, UNTIL THE NEXT BLOG, WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL BE IN JAN. 2018
