Hi everyone. Even those who are non religious find today an important day to reflect on both past and present memories; especially those who are alone today. The world has so many words to try and make us feel so warm and comfortable on this day yet for some of us we just seek an element of understanding, compassion and an element of forgiveness. Even with my new ID, I am alone today, my children (adult) are with family but we will talk. "Old me" friends talk on the phone with encouragement, "new me" friends not knowing my past say good tidings. One common comment is they all see my inner strength and determination to understand my present situation and seek a rewarding and positive future. To clarify the above: - my Old me friends think of my struggles with my offence.
- my new me friends think of my struggles having just had half my pancreas and spleen removed a couple of weeks ago.
To me both struggles are faced with the same determination, focus and self belief to regain the best life I can under the circumstances I face.
There is not one of us who visit this place who cannot have the same aim;
Enjoy today whatever your circumstances, make the most of what you have or can do knowing there could always be less.
Be Happy
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope is for tomorrow else what is left if you remove a mans hope.
