My best friend of 17 years is very ill. Congestive heart failure brought on by diabetes. She's 49.
She has three children; the youngest is 16. She has lived a very full life, but she has so much more to experience in this life.
Dust off those dreams and goals you had as a child. Make a 'bucket list' if you haven't done so already. Live those dreams, for this life happens once. You are only you in this body once. Your next life will come but you will be someone else with new dreams - a new life.
Take care of yourself: mind, soul and body. You are a soul experiencing life in a physical body.
Laugh, love, dance, sing...live life in joy and peace.
Nuture your body with good food, exercise and plenty of sleep. Without a physical body, your soul has no where to live on this beautiful planet. Without your body, you are unable to experience life on planet Earth.
Remind yourself that your mind gets caught up in the day-to-day affairs of being in the physical body. Your brain is a complex and wonderful computer capable of incredible thoughts. Without thought, there would be nothing - no wonderful accomplishments of any kind.
When your thoughts are lofty, you can achieve the stars.
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
Meditation allows your soul to speak to your mind; it is good for both the body and for your soul.
Life is wonderful and too short no matter how long you live on our beautiful Mother Earth.
I'm off now...
Love, Darlene
