Upon reflection

Hi,

The funeral this past Thursday, feels so far away; as if many days have passed. I say that, because yesterday was a day, when I was in a 'bit of a funk'; and I experienced a fair tid of sadness. I thought about all the people that meant something to me, that are no longer with us, in this world. The service and the reception afterwards on Thursday, really illuminated to me, 'how short and precious life is'. And, that none of know when our number is up; so make the best of your life.

We have another "wake" to go tomorrow afternoon; in this case, we did not know the person who so tragically died; however, we are going on behalf of Alan's good friend. It was his friend's longtime girlfriend; whom we have only met a couple of times. I guess yesterday, lay claim to a full tidtitz of my emotions; and I just simply "vegged"; in front of a fire; a safe retreat from the cool fall weather.

Tidbit - When the body says "chill out"; give yourself a bittidz recharge rest, follow that refueling plan. You are not much good to others, if you are "worn down" with "battle" fatigue etc.

Bittid - It is good to reflect and give thanks for what we have; and at the same time, not to lament for too long over the past. ie deaths or whatever the sadness may be. Yes, genuinely remember those who have passed away; but think of them with gratitude and as a passing gift / or wonderful moments, shared with you, in your life. And, if you are fortunate enough to have the comfort and cheer of good friends and family, gathered around you, so much the better! If not, distress not; for life is too short to be sad or weary for too long.

"Praise Him in All Things"; even in sadness or despair. He is your Refuge; just reach out to Him.

God Bless.
