Age is often feared or sometimes not rejoiced in. Through the years, age give us wisdom that beauty or youth cannot. We understand the value of a day.We see how one action puts many other actions into play. We see what love and forgiveness can do against hatred or indifference. Age teaches us things that will not deliver in youth or beauty.

Grief is an overwhelming heart wrenching feeling of pain and sorrow. There is no time table on grief and no quick fix to overcome it. Sadly, the only way to deal with grief is to go through it. No two people grieve the same way.
You will probably grieve somewhat differently each time you experience a significant loss. Your reaction to loss is influenced by the relationship you had with the lost person, object, or situation and life experiences. The stronger the attachment, the more intense the feelings of loss we feel. Grief will re-visit you and compound with each new loss and memories. You can be doing fine and then be "ambushed" by grief. Grief may challenge your faith. Grieving does not mean you lack faith. We don't "get over" or "let go" after losing someone we love. We learn to adapt to life without our loved ones. We don't forget them or stop loving them. It is all that we are left with. Talking about your grief will not make it go away, but sharing your pain and sorrow helps you to express your sad feelings. Others may attempt to rush your grief but grief cannot be rushed. Angels are beautiful human beings who do for others without expecting to get something in return.
There are angels everywhere in this world. Sometimes you just have to open your eyes to see them. In fact, who knows you could have just passed by one on the street, or they are in a circle of your friends Everyone needs a time-out. Your mind and soul need quiet time as well. Many of us forget to take time to rejuvenate ourselves and to give ourselves a break from the daily grind.
It is imperative that we take small breaks in life, whether it is half an hour a day or weeks at a time. When we put the care of our mind, body and soul as a first priority, we have the chance to become stronger and more efficient, when it comes to taking care of daily tasks and the ones we love. Remember to recharge and renew yourself. Put aside time in your schedule that will allow you to do things for your own self-care such as, deep tissue massages, meditation, a yoga class, beauty tactics and practicing mindfulness. Whatever you enjoy doing for yourself, do it. Do not place yourself at the bottom of your
priority list. If you are not feeling strong inside and out, you are not going to be much help to others. Now that 2014 is very much underway, it's time to look at how much you do for others, and how much you actually do for yourself.
With each passing day, we're supposed to grow wiser. We're supposed to apply past knowledge and experience to what is unexplored and unknown in our futures.
Our knowledge and experience is supposed to make us more sensible, wise and mature. If you're finding it difficult to resist an urge to be just a little bit immature now, then let your hair down and enjoy a bit of fun. Bring some level of frivolity to your world. Give it a chance. 'The past is in the past', we hear people say, 'move on and embrace the present and future'. We're good at doing this but there are times when we wish, we could be transported to a time, when things seemed better or preferable. It's
worth considering how you're looking at an aspect of your past impractically. Rose-tinted glasses have a tendency to make us do that. Try to understand how a future unfolding now will soon put into perspective, how irrelevant the past really is. |
