'Never worry about getting knocked down, just put your mind on getting back up'

Good Afternoon, or whatever is the appropriate greeting to you, in your part of the world!

Today has been a 'test'. Many emotions; and much is expected of us - on all fronts.

Just received an email from a friend of mine; and he gave me some wonderful encouragement; given the sad news of a longtime friend of mine, who has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer (in yesterday's blog, I made a bit of a brief reference). In tid fact, the above 'title' are the words he told me in the email! It uplifted me hugely; so, 'Thank you, Steve!' Also, Kris, many thanks for your kind comment; I will send you an email with my friend's name and home address. He will love that! I appreciate your generosity of spirit!

Tidbit - Go with the flow! That is what I keep repeating to Alan's Dad...he is very tearful; and I have told him many a time today, that his wife is 'sleeping'; and she should be allowed to rest. When she wakes up, then he can go to her. Alan's Mum is on a new medication; which apparently will help her sleep better; and ease the severe pain that she is undergoing. However, she has her wish! She will be passing away in a peaceful setting; and NOT in the coldness of a hospital.

Bittid - Resign yourself to be 'ready' for whatever happens. It is ALL up to Him; so leave it ALL to Him! Death brings out either the best or the worst in us; or a combination of both. So often, it takes a death, before someone invites Him into their heart. Perhaps, consider inviting Him in today. You will be amazed at the changes within you.

Spring is just around the corner..well, maybe not quite yet..but various bit blooms are coming out..ie our 2 tid Hotei rhododendrum plants.

Bye for now; and God Bless.
