Living Well

Half-mast eye lids; the
unseeing gaze of death
matches your cold heart.
Why do you turn from me
when I declare my love
for you? Is it such a
valueless trifle? Oh,
mirror, you wound my soul.

Home is not where you were born
but rather where you are wanted.
How is it that many families are
disconnected either by distance
or will? The breakdown of the family
is a serious signal of a culture in crisis.

If you are one of the millions of
people whose family is unavailable
one way or another, while it is a
significant loss, it need not be fatal.

First, examine your own life to
see how you have contributed to
family separation. Failure to do
this may result in you repeating the
same behavior with a second family.
Next, you must pay attention to your
relationships. A garden unwatered does
not bear fruit. Relationships need
need nurturing. A friend is not a
book you take off the shelf and read
when you feel like it. To be close to
other people takes loving presence.
It requires involvement, sharing, caring.

Think…

Be firm, what does this mean?
It means being totally focused
and committed to everything you do.
Wishy-washy does not work.

Checklist:

1. Make a wish on a morning star
2. Hug someone who otherwise would not have received a hug
3. Each time you eat, pause and really feel grateful that you have food when so many are hungry
4. Smile at all whom you meet
5. Do your best…nothing else is required or needed

My goodness! You sure have a busy day!

Let life be fun. I do!
