Some days I am at a loss of why things happen. Some days I just do not feel in control, and maybe that's good. Without your health, you have nothing. I try to hard to remember this. Gratitude keeps the heart beating. Gratitude can change your attitude in a minute.
Pausing and finding some quiet time to look up at the moon on an evening walk and say hello to a fallen loved one. Tomorrow I go to say good bye to my friend Lori Paton. She committed suicide.
I have lost many friends to suicide and all of them have been drug and alcohol related. Then I have friends fighting for their lives with cancer, including myself after learning that MM is not in remission any longer and wondering what the next step will be.
This is something that never leaves my mind. I know God will bring through these tough times, like He always does. Worry is just a waste of precious life.
These things are not easy to write about. But I don't want to forget that my goal is to be kinder and to learn from the good and the seemingly bad things that happen in my life.
I want to was the sun, the moon and listen to the waves.
It was a lovely dinner tonight with Dani, Noah, River, Debbie and Stephanie. We may never get to do that again. So I take a big deep breath. I smile. I say, thank you, God for today. Thank you for this moment!
Good night.
