HELLO/SHALOM!
THERE MUST BE A REASON FOR ONE PHYSICAL AILMENT AFTER ANOTHER ATTACHING ITSELF TO MY BODY. IS IT A REMINDER FOR ME TO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO FOCUS ON GRATITUDE EACH AND EVERY MOMENT? WHEN WE ARE FEELING GREAT, WE TEND TO FORGET JUST HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE TO BE ALIVE AND FUNCTIONING.
CAN I/WE REMEMBER TO TAKE THE PAIN, THE HURT, THE TOTAL AGONY OF ILLNESS AND STILL FOCUS ON BEING HERE TODAY, AT THIS TIME IN THIS BODY, IN THIS WORLD, AND STILL SAY THANK YOU. AT LEAST I HAVE .............
IT TAKES HARD CONCENTRATION TO DO SAY WHEN IN PAIN OR MENTAL DISTRESS. BUT..... WE ARE STILL ALIVE TO FUNCTION, TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE UNIVERSE, TO THE ALMIGHTY, AND SEE THE GOOD IN THE WORLD. THIS IS A TOUGH CALL TO FULFILL. THAT IS WHY WRITING A BOOK OF ABUNDANCE DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, AS WE FEEL THE NEED AND DESIRE TO NOTE THE GOOD WONDERFUL THINGS IN OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW, DESPITE.....
I WISH ALL OF YOU READERS AND MYSELF THE STRENGTH TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, AND TO FEEL THE PAIN , BUT TO

JUNE 2, 2018 ALONG LIFE'S JOURNEY
JULY HAS ARRIVED-SUMMER, FUN, TIME OFF, ALONG WITH OUR TRAVELS MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY ON OUR TRAIN OF LIFE. LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS A PICNIC, TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE DECIDED THAT MY ONGOING TRIALS KEEP REMINDING ME OF LIFE'S BREVITY, AND HOW MUCH I MUST FOCUS ON 'GRATITUDE', MY KEY WORD NOW IN MY LIFE.
GRATITUDE FOR BEING HERE TODAY, TO BREATHE TO FEEL LIFE, TO SOAK IN EACH AND EVERY GOOD EVENT-TO BREATHE IN THE FLOWERS THE GREENERY, OUR FAMILY MEMBERS, NEW BABIES BORN, SUCCESSES AND EVEN FAILURES..... BUT WE CAN'T CHANGE WHAT WAS YESTERDAY, NO MATTER HOW WE MIGHT LIKE TO. WE CERTAINLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS COMING IN THE FUTURE.
BUT.......WE HAVE TODAY TO BE THANKFUL, TO BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE DO HAVE, ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER CHANCE TO GIVE TO OTHERS, TO GIVE TO OURSELVES, TO THANK THE UNIVERSE FOR ANOTHER CHANCE TO HAVE SOME IMPACT ON OUR WORLD, HOWEVER SMALL AN ACT.
ALONG WITH GRATITUDE, I AM ATTACHING 'TO SMILE' AT EACH PERSON THATWE MEET. A SMILE CAN LIGHT UP A LIFE, AND IN TURN MAKES US FEEL GOOD TOO. WE MAKE OTHERS HAPPY BY OUR SMILE OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, AND WE ARE HAPPY
OURSELVES BY OUR ACT.
BELIEVE ME I KNOW THAT WE ARE ACHING AND FACING OUR OWN PERSONAL HARDSHIPS OF PAIN AND WORRY, THAT IT IS NOT EASY. WE ALL HAVE MOMENTS AND EVEN HOURS OF DISTRESS AND PAIN, BUT.... LET US PICK OURSELVES UP AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND BE GRATEFUL, AND RELISH IN THE NOW, TODAY THAT I AM STILL ON THIS PLANET TO BE SOMEWHAT HELPFUL, AND ALWAYS GRATEFUL.
I WISH US ALL BETTER HEALTH, AND A GRATEFUL HEART AS WE GREET EACH DAY.. UNTIL NEXT MONTH'S BLOG, G. WILLING.

3 M'S this JUNE, 2018 ALONG LIFE'S JOURNEY
HELLO TO MYSELF AND ANY DEAR READERS:
I FEEL THE NEED TO FOCUS MYSELF ON ME, MY MIND, MINDFULNESS/MEDITATION.
ME: ALWAYS DOING, RUNNING, PLANNING, WORRYING-THE LIST COULD GO ON ENDLESSLY.
MY MIND IS ALWAYS WORRYING ABOUT WHAT WAS, WHAT IS, WHAT WILL BE-MAYBE, MAYBE, AND WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
ALL SO FRUITLESS, YET HUMAN WORKINGS ON ONESELF.
AGAIN, I REMIND MYSELF: WOULD ALL THE WORRYING, PLANNING, WHAT IF'S -CAN THEY CHANGE WHAT IS TO BE? NO, BUT IT CERTAINLY CAUSES STRESS, AGING AND UNHAPPINESS.
AND SO I GO ON TO TRY TO BE MINDFUL OF WHAT I THINK, OF WHAT I DO, AND OF WHAT I PLAN. CAN I SLOW MYSELF DOWN, SIT AND BREATHE AND JUST 'BE'? WILL A QUIET YOGA POSE RELAX ME? CAN I CLOSE MY EYES AND JUST BE-WHY IT IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY-HOW CAN I HELP MYSELF ENJOY IT? SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN. DWELL ON THE GOOD, PRACTICE MY GRATITUDE JOURNAL, WHICH I DO AT RANDOM, BUT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.
LOOK WHAT I HAVE TODAY, RIGHT NOW. TOMORROW WILL COME AND DO WHAT IT MUST. BUT AT LEAST I (MEANING WE ALL THROUGH THIS DISCUSSION) HAVE THIS MOMENT IN TIME, IN LIFE. HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO HAVE ........... EACH ONE HAS HIS/HER SPECIAL MEANINGFUL SITUATIONS OVER AND ABOVE THE TOUGH STUFF WE ARE FACED WITH.
AND SO, DEAR READERS, I WISH YOU WELL IN YOUR MANAGING OF THE 3 M'S .

MAY 13-2018 AND LIFE CONTINUES, THANK G.
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!

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!
