FEELING BLUE – ok
I am not depressed but this afternoon as I was driving to have my pedicure I felt overwhelmed with sadness. Sad that life is so unpredictable and there is no way of knowing when it will be our turn to get sick, to suffer and then to die.
Frustrated because we don’t know the future which I guess is a good thing but then we don’t know if we should spend now, eat the cake now and or travel NOW!
Listening to my favorite Jewish cd’s and realizing how sad the music is especially the songs written about Jewish mothers and the Jewish people who had no place to turn to during the war. I guess I should listen to different music but I love the tunes and memories they bring.
When I went for my pedicure I past by the Holocaust center and volunteered. The man asked if I could lead groups. I don’t think so as I get so tongue tied. Anyhow I will wait till they call and see what else I could do.
Anyhow time to prepare supper – meatballs, Israeli salad and rice. Back later.
One good thing — all this makes one very thankful for the NOW and all the things we have been able to enjoy. Some people never do…

Because of my daughter’s 13 year illness and death last year, we learned not to put anything off because we are not promised tomorrow.

I like the fact life can be so unpredictable…. it is supposed to be a bit of an adventure anyway. You seem to fill every moment of your life well, so should have no regrets at the end. I hope you don’t anyway. Each day we are given is a blessing to enjoy…..it doesn’t have to be about travel, cake or whatever, just to smell the flowers and feel the warm sun on one’s face, or to feel loved,- is bountiful. Be happy. hugs P

Always “Do it now.” It’s the things you DON’T do in life that you regret, not the things you DO do. *hugs* I try to enjoy where I am as much as possible. Even when I am scared or hurting it is all part of the delicious experience of being human.
