Why is it you take a week off and the next week you work double time? I have not regained my good sleep habits and have been burning the candle at both ends. The fall is fastly approaching and with it the calendar is filling up. Close to putting my white clothes and shoes away and getting into some warmer and longer pants and other clothes. I came out of the theatre last night and was freezing. My friends and myself attended THE HELP and if you haven't read the book or if you have ....it is a great movie. The tears were flowing and that can often been a good release when other issues in your life are buidling up and you can just let the dam go. I often tell patients that I understand the front that they put up for others,being strong, pushing to meet others expectations. I also tell them that quality of time means making every minute count and saying and doing the things you want or need to do and laugh and cry as much as you can. Shouldn't that be what all of us should do anytime of our lives, seizing the moment and making the best of each day? Life is a gift and the coming and goind of it is as well. I often thing of the FOOTPRINTS in the sand as we all have those days that the burden seems to much to bare, but knowing that there is a powerful source guiding and supporting you is vital. I recently had friends that had the passing of their father and I said in those last moments to continue to hold his hand and talk to him and tell him all the things you want to say as he did when you were little and unable to communicate. We all need and feel that kind of love. There is a void when both your parents are gone and with it that unconditional love that they have for you and now you are then next batter up to the plate to carry that on with your children and friends and family. Hmmms, sounds like I should be singing some uplifting song but my focus is to try to make the day better at least for one person each day and more is better and to share my love in whatever form it needs in that day. I don't know why but I am always amazed how on that day of need, the right person, the right words, the right hug comes through and often times from somewhere you least expect it. So your mission today is to Make it a great day for someone else and I guarantee you will feel better in the end and reap the bigger reward. Love to all and make it great! S
