A Present which is lasting .......

...... and I am still delighted with this present from Joan which makes my iMac sound so beautiful ........ hmmm

Visiting Joyce ......... my Mother in Law who is in a rehab unit to prepare her for living alone ........... she is confused and not well after a good start following her operation to fix her broken hip.

Travelling along the UK motorways in constant drizzle is not my idea of heaven. Gorra be done. And a few more week-ends are going to be like this.

Feeling happy myself ...... but aware that Joan is churned up ..... uncertain about the future health of her Mother. Life is like this eh?

Busy week ahead. Lots to prepare as well as the family things.

Reflection;
It is so important to stay emotionally able. Emotionally fit. It is not just about first seeking the Kingdom ......... it is about keeping a driven life. Alert - active - alive.

A human once said to me; "I am dead already"
This human person was living in a YMCA Hostel with nothing to live for ......... not my view but that persons.

I will keep striving - learning - loving - disturbing my comfortable - comforting my disturbed ........ and always refreshing the irritation.

"I'm pretty sure that it is only by experiencing that ocean of sadness in a naked and immediate way that we come to be healed ' which is to say that we come to experience life with a real sense of presence and spaciousness and peace.

A fixation can give you the illusion that your life has not fallen apart.
But since your life may indeed have fallen apart, the illusion won't hold up forever, and if you are lucky and brave, you will be willing to bear disillusion.
You begin to cry and writhe and yell and then to keep on crying; and then, finally, grief ends up giving you the two best things: softness and illumination."
