Love and positivity to the friend you mention and you too. I can completely empathize with your words and emotions....

So true Karena. So very true. Apologies.... for not being in touch as I normally am. Been navigating some "major bumps in the road here too"... But read your articles regularly and agree totally.

Specially with this one....

Life's too short for anything other than (1) Doing one's best (2) leaving behind something of worth and (3) Having made a difference.

Of what use having lived, if we haven't made a difference...?! Yes? My mantra. Doing and trying; here too. But yeah, sometimes it does get a bit tough.

Thanx for the nice, thoughtful and insightful reads. Loved this one and totally empathise... Do keep up the great work.

Difficult, but learning this, Eric. Thanks for the advice.

Hi Karena, I didn't phrase my words very well! I apologise. I did not have the intention to give you advice.; I was clumsily conveying that I noticed you holding that quiet space and 'being', experiencing each moment as it comes - and that in the moments when your emotions feel raw, that's ok, and enough. ❤️

It is wisdom that you share, Eric. It is difficult to stop long enough to feel, when one is conditioned to "do". So I really appreciate you kindess and your words.

Blessings. Christin. Your "ashes to ashes" read was all the more poignant.
