Early morning. Yesterday was such a beautiful day…hope today will be the same. Venus and Jupiter were just spectacular last night. While there are so many things going on in our world that are concerning, it is comforting to know that things really ARE as they should be. The Universe goes on and we have life….life! We have a chance today to love someone else and express that love to them. We have a chance to ask for forgiveness if that is needed. We have a chance to change the direction of our lives if we want to. We have a chance to help other people…the most noble thing that any human being can do. We have a chance to have compassion and understanding for someone that we have never understood before. We have a chance to be positive instead of negative. We woke up to life thing morning….let’s live it, and love it, it’s the only life we have and will ever have. Let’s don’t waste time with things that don’t mean anything in the long run. And yes, I am trying to take my own advice.
The Light is in My Heart
When I walk and I remember those who are gone from this earth, I sometimes think…well I should visit the cemeteries where they lay more often than I do.
But then I consider…my Granny and Grandpa are buried 100 miles away, yet I think of them almost daily. Mom and Dad and Karrie Lynn are buried in the old Trion cemetery and I pass it almost every day, yet I don’t go in very often. But I think of them constantly.
All of the people I have loved, family and friends, still live in my heart. In my memory. In my love.
I don’t need to go to the place where their physical remains are residing. There’s nothing there. There will never be anything there…except the emptiness, pain and grief I felt the day we laid them in the ground.
I can do without that.
I’ll keep what lives inside me gladly over what’s been returned to the earth. Those memories light a candle for my soul every day.
