V-VERY HAPPY TO STILL BE ON THE TRAIN OF LIFE!
E-EACH DAY IS A GIFT FROM ABOVE!

E-EVERY SMILE TO AND FROM OTHERS ADDS TO OUR HAPPINESS
-R-RELAXING WHILE WE LIVE EACH MOMENT AND DAY.

THE PLUSES IN OUR LIFE, AND DEAL AS BEST WE CAN WITH THE MINUSES.

ALONG OUR TRAIN RIDE OF LIFE, OCT. 6-2019
SHALOM DEAR READERS:
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, WE ARE REMINDED OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO ARE ILL OR WHO HAVE DIED. THEY HAVE FINISHED THEIR RIDE ON THE TRAIN OF LIFE. HOW SIMPLE IT IS TO SAY THAT SENTENCE, BUT OH, HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO ACCEPT IT! EACH OF US HAS HIS BURDEN TO CARRY, HIS PAIN TO LIVE WITH, AND SOMEHOW TO CONTINUE TO LIVE AND LAUGH AND ENJOY SOMEWHAT!
WHAT A CHALLENGE LIFE IS! BUT WE HAVE TODAY, RIGHT NOW, TO GRAB THE MOMENTS WE HAVE TO SOMEHOW ENJOY, LAUGH, (AND EVEN CRY) AND BE AWARE AND THANKFUL FOR WHAT WE DO HAVE! A FRIEND'S COMPANY, A CHILD OR GRANDCHILDS LAUGH, A GOOD BOOK TO READ, A TIME FOR OURSELVES TO REST, TO JUST 'BE', AND SOMEHOW, YES, SOMEHOW TO BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE HAVE TODAY, AS THIS MOMENT IN TIME.
WE ARE ON THE TRAIN OF LIFE. AT SOME TIME, EVERYONE HAS THEIR TURN TO GET OFF THE TRAIN OF LIFE. IT IS THE NATURE'S WAY FOR ALL FLOWERS, TREES, ANIMALS, AND YES OURSELVES, HUMAN BEINGS TO DIE.
BUT RIGHT NOW ON OCT. 6, 2019, WE ARE HERE. SO I WISH ALL OF US SOME PLEASURE, SOME HAPPY MOMENTS, SOME LAUGHTER AND SMILES. MAY WE HAVE MANY GOOD MOMENTS TO OVERCOME THE UNPLEASANT ONES WE HAVE TO ACCEPT. MAY THIS YEAR BE A GOOD ONE FOR ALL OF US. WHAT WE CAN DO IS TO FIND HAPPY ACTIVITIES TO KEEP US GOING.
G. BLESS!
SHANA TOVA-A GOOD YEAR!
UNTIL NOV. G. WILLING,

ALONG THE TRAIN OF LIFE, SEPT. 2019
WELL, HERE WE ARE IN SEPT. 2019. HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO BE ALIVE, TO COMMENCE OUR STUDIES, OR CONTINUE IN THE WORK FORCE, OR TO JUST LIVE, BREATHE THE WORLD AROUND US.
NEW BEGINNINGS , WE ARE AWARE OF A SHOFAR(RAM'S HORN) BEING BLOWN DAILY, WE THINK OF MISTAKES WE HAVE MADE, OF REPENTANCE, OF WANTING TO LIVE AND CONTINUE ON , ON THIS PLANET EARTH. EACH OF US IS EXPERIENCING THE AGING PROCESS, THE HEALING PROCESS, THE DECLINING PROCESS-EACH BEING NORMAL PROCESSES TO GO THROUGH IN LIFE.
I SUGGEST THAT WE TAKE TIME TO PONDER JUST HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE-DO WE STILL HAVE FRIENDS AROUND US, FAMILY WHO LOVE US, A HOME TO LIVE IN, A COMMUNITY TO BE PART OF? GRATITUDE IS A TERM THAT I HANG ONTO, HOW MUCH I HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR, DESPITE THE NEGATIVE ELEMENTS THAT ARE PART OF WHAT WE MUST GO THROUGH BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, AND MENTALLY.
CAN WE ELIMINATE ALL THE NEGATIVES? BUT CAN WE STRIVE TO ACCEPT WHAT WE MUST, TO THINK OF THE POSITIVE GOOD THINGS TO HANG ONTO. I FIND THAT BY WRITING A LIST OF ALL THE GOOD IN MY LIFE, POINT FORM, I SEE THAT DESPITE THE DIFFICULT ACHES, PAINS, AND WORRIES, THERE IS MUCH TO BE SO THANKFUL FOR.
I CHALLENGE MYSELF DAILY TO THINK POSITIVELY . IT IS SO EASY TO DWELL ONTHE NEGATIVE. AND TO PITY OURSELVES, AND WHAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH.
LET ELUL, THIS MONTH LEADING UP TO THE JEWISH NEW YEAR, ROSH HASHANA, EMBRACE US WITH THANKFULNESS AND HOPEFULNESS DAILY!
WITH MY BEST WISHES ALWAYS,

ALONG THE TRAIN OF LIFE-AUGUST, 2019
SHALOM/HI TO ANY READERS:
HERE WE ARE AT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST. SUMMER BEATS UPON US. AROUND ME, I SEE AND HEAR OF MANY PERSONALITIES WHOM I KNOW/KNEW WHO HAVE DIED. HOW CAN THEY? THEY ARE STILL SO YOUNG, RELATIVELY.
THE TRAIN OF LIFE KEEPS TRAVELING-PEOPLE, INCLUDING ONES WE KNOW AND/OR LOVE/LIKE, ARE LEAVING THE TRAIN ; THAT MEANS THEY ARE DEAD. NEW FACES ARE ON THE TRAIN-YOUNG ONES, NEW BABIES, GRANDCHILDREN, NEW FRIENDS (IF WE ARE FORTUNATE). AND THE TRAIN KEEPS RUMBLING ALONG. WHO? WHEN? WHERE? WHERE HAVE THEY GONE? WE ARE FINDING OURSELVES FRIGHTENED. IS IT MY TURN SOON? WHO KNOWS?
AND SO, I GO BACK TO MY MAIN SUGGESTION DURING OUR DIFFICULT TIMES HERE ON EARTH. FINDING MOMENTS TO TREASURE, FINDING THINGS CONSTANTLY TO BE THANKFUL FOR, LIVING AS BEST THAT WE CAN, AND ACCEPTING THINGS THAT WE CANNOT CHANGE. I THINK OF THE SONG: 'LIFE IS LIKE A DREAM'. AND IT IS. LET'S DO OUR BEST TO MAKE IT A GOOD DREAM IN REALITY. WHAT IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL IS. BUT WHAT CHANGES OF HEART AND MIND CAN WE CONTROL TO KEEP AFLOAT AND STILL ABLE TO ENJOY EVEN THE MINUTE THINGS THAT WE SEE, THAT WE GET, THAT WE CAN GIVE.
I WISH EACH OF YOU A HEALTHY OUTLOOK ON OUR TIME ON THE TRAIN OF LIFE. IT TAKES WORK AND CONCENTRATION TO BE POSITIVE. WE MUST WORK ON OURSELVES!
WITH LOVE TO EACH OF YOU, UNTIL HOPEFULLY, WE SPEAK AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER.

AS WE TRAVEL ALONG THE TRAIN OF LIFE; JUNE 3-19
SHALOM OUT THERE!
WHAT IS OUR MOOD, OUR SITUATION, OUR LOOK TO THE FUTURE AT THIS POINT OF DAY AND TIME?
NO ONE KNOW, NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHEN OR WHERE OUR TIME WILL BE TO LEAVE THIS TRAIN RIDE. BUT RIGHT NOW TODAY, NOW, IF WE ARE READING THIS LETTER, WE HAVE THIS MOMENT, MAYBE WE HAVE ALL OF THIS DAY ALONG THE TRAIN OF LIFE.
HOW ARE WE USING IT? ARE WE DOING SOMETHING PLEASANT FOR OURSELVES? OR ARE WE PINING AWAY FOR WHAT WAS, AND CANNOT BE AGAIN.
HAVE WE SMILED TODAY AT SOMEONE, AT SOMETHING? COULD WE MAKE SOMEONE ELSE HAPPY TODAY, WITH A SMILE, A HELLO AND SMALL CONVERSATION TO SEE HE/SHE IS FEELING TODAY.
HAVE WE NOURISHED OURSELVES WITH A GOOD HEALTHY MEAL, OR A GOOD NOSH? HAVE WE SAT DOWN AND LEFT ALL OUR TASKS AT HAND, TO READ A BOOK THAT WE ARE IN MIDST OF.
HAVE WE CALLED A FRIEND, A RELATIVE, WHO IS THERE JUST FOR THE CALLING.
WE HAVE 'THIS MOMENT IN TIME' TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH, AND DO SOMETHING NICE FOR OURSELVES! WE HAVE NO GUARANTEES OF TIME-NO ONE REALLY DOES, EVEN THE 'HEALTHY' ONES. BUT WE KNOW TO APPRECIATE EVERY BIT OF LIFE AND TIME.
SO FOR THIS MONTH OF JUNE, I AM WISHING ALL OF US (ME TOO, AS I SOMETIMES DROWN IN MY SORROW OF FEELINGS AND HAPPENINGS AROUND US), TO SIT UP OR STAND UP AND SAY TO OURSELVES: NOW IS MY TIME! TO READ, TO SLEEP, TO VISIT, TO EAT, TO DO WHAT 'TALKS' TO ME! I COUNT AS MUCH AS OTHERS DO. AM I BOTTOM ON THE TOTEM POLE? LET'S CLIMB UP AND BE AT THE TOP!
I WISH US ALL GOOD HEALTH, GOOD ATTITUDE, AND A GOOD RIDE TODAY, NOW ON THE TRAIN OF LIFE!
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, NEXT MONTH, G. WILLING.

ALONG THE TRAIN OF LIFE, MAY, 2019
SHALOM/HELLO TO MY READERS:
MORE AND MORE, I AM REALIZING THE IMPERMANENCE IN LIFE. NOTHING IS FOREVER, NOTHING LASTS FOREVER. JUST AS THE LOVELY FLOWERS WITHER AND FADE AND DIE, AND AS ALL THE ANIMAL CREATURES DO, SO DO WE HUMAN BEINGS GROW, FLOURISH, WITHER, AND DIE. THAT IS THE SCHEME OF LIFE.
KNOWING THAT, WE REMEMBER KOHELET/PSALMS. TO EVERY THING THERE AS A SEASON. A TIME TO GROW, A TIME TO LIVE, A TIME TO SOAR, AND A TIME TO OUR END. THOSE OF US WHO LIFE WITH PAIN, ARE FORCED TO PAINFULLY BE SO AWARE OF OUR BODY AND MIND LIMITATIONS.
SO AS I OFTEN WRITE, LIVE THE MOMENT! BE HAPPY FOR TODAY, CELEBRATE THAT WE ARE STILL ON THIS PLANET EARTH! MAKE NOTE OF OUR HAPPY MOMENTS, OF OUR ATTACHMENT TO PEOPLE WE LOVE AND CARE ABOUT, TO BOOKS, TO MUSIC, TO MOVIES, TO WHATEVER IT IS THAT MAKE US SMILE ALONG THE WAY!
LET'S GO FOR IT! ENJOY WHAT WE CAN. EVEN THE 'HEALTHY' PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO GET OFF THE TRAIN OF LIFE AT SOME POINT. WE ARE GIVEN THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CHERISH WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, AT THIS MOMENT OF TIME.
SO LET'S LIVE AS BEST WE CAN. HOPEFULLY, WE WILL CONNECT AGAIN AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT MONTH.
WISHING US ALL A GOOD MONTH, AND MANY OCCASIONS TO SMILE EVEN THO' THINGS ARE TOUGH.
YOURS,
