Food for thought

How true this is....

 dont be in so much of a hurry to get there that you forget to enjoy the journey

Namaste

how do they see through my veil...

sure I drive a nice car
sure I live in a nice house
in a desirable area... with good schools not too far
yeah Ive been blessed with a half decent brain
    how can they see through my veil ...its just insane

but I know without a doubt what they see...
the old me...
they think 
'she shudnt be in that car'
must be stolen..must be on finance
its plain to see..from the way they stare at me
    how do they see through behind the veil...its insane  

why is it so hard to leave the horrors of our upbringing behind
that dirty smelly scruffy vagabond that was me
the only memories that never seem to leave my mind
remembering you were that child...the ones NICE kids avoided
being part of the in group was something i never enjoyed ( or even experienced!)
     how do my associates see through my veil....
why is it impossible to leave it behind..its insane

so even when you drag yourself up the life ladder ...
kicking and screaming from what you were born into..
really its to no... or very little avail
dont misunderstand..
 as its not about wether you succeed or fail
its more about what we see in the mirror
cus these people dont know my background!! 
      do really see through my veil. .(behind my smile...)
may be its just ME thats insane

Heaven sent

It has been one of those amazing times in life when there is just no comparison....

feeling blessed

I have been blessed with another beautiful perfect little granchild...

A brand new life 

that moment when that special moment ...never to be repeated moment

when the little fella takes his first breath

a gift from God

and a moment in time which you were privileged to witness

Thank you Lord for this new life

I pray you will be with him always 

to guide him on his special journey

to protect him and love him

and I pray Our Lady will surround him with her love and guidance

Thank you

And so life goes on

so we are nearly at the end of another year wow....

time surely flies.... and especially at this time of year we see are made aware of this seeing all the remembrance messages to our loved ones who are no longer with us..... a very poignant time

I myself have experienced grief on a very personal level this year....a close family member ....which for the immediate family was absolutely  devastating.... 

this was a life that without a doubt could of still been here, but due to a very adictive nature life was extinguished much too soon

the family left behind are still fighting a terrible battle of how to carry on...grief is a strange one....pain...sorrow...anger...guilt of still living!!

i also lost a very beautiful and dear frend.... someone who wanted to live so much...to share experiences..good and bad...to love...to see famiy grow...who loved life so so much  ( i will talk about my dear frend again..ive no doubt of this...i have thought of her so much )

Two very different circumstances....but to the same end

Life goes on... all be it...on a different level..we never accept it    we just learn to distract ourselves and live with the memories ...

But the moral of the story is life is short...shorter for some ...grasp it with both hands and live like its your last day...Enjoy this amazing life        

Enjoy everything life has to offer....and remember be kind on your lifes journey.... 

Looking back 18 months ago

Well to say things have been life changing is an understatement....

Life being the ultimate  word  or the lack of it
No less than 5 people who I knew very well.... one in particular being a very dear and beautiful frend....to say I was heart broken was an understatement, and the world is surely a poorer place without her....

Others were indeed tragic especially for those left behind...
And all were comparatively in their prime....some not even 50 years old.

How life changes.....

I chanced upon some diary entries from about 18 months ago....which would of been just after I started my new job!!
To say I was stressed, was an understatement , seemed like I was nearly over the edge....
Nervous, uncomfortable, unfamiliar, scared of making mistakes, drained,stressed,tired, just some of the words I used to describe how I was feeling.
No way did I think I would last 18 days never mind 18 months.
but true to the stubborn soul that I am...I dug my heels in and put up with a lot of s**t
And there's more...about my job to tell soon
But surprise surprise 18 months on and I'm still in the same job...how long for only God knows....
But what I do know is if I can do it, any one can....
What a difference 18 months can make......
And as they say as one door opens...so do a few more ( well thats not exactly how the saying goes )

Thought for today...

Simple ....????   have a fab day

Thanksgiving.....

Firstly I would like to say that in no way is this post meant to offend anyway...if i have any of my information wrong , please except my sincere apologies

Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have.

Thanksgiving Day has been an annual holiday in the United States since 1863. Not everyone sees Thanksgiving Day as a cause for celebration. Each year since 1970, a group of Native Americans and their supporters have staged a protest for a National Day of Mourning at Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day. American Indian Heritage Day is also observed at this time of the year.

 FOR ME ???

Thanksgiving for me is a time to reflect ....to reflect on all the good things in my life....both past and present and hopefully future

An opportunity to remember to be thankful and grateful for all the blessings in my life and in the lives of my frends and family.....

Not least to be thankful for life and the  life of my beautiful family and frends...

For me each and every day is a blessing....And I thank The Blessed Lord for each and every one of them.

Thanks dont cost anything.....
