Aeons Later ...

It has been a while since my last post (understatement ??). I can say that events transpired since are worthy of any soap opera ... (wink)
A little list of what I have learned
1. Even if you come up with a list of all the bad things that could happen; stress and worry about it - lose precious hair, get a terrible complexion, become fluffy and various other eeky physical changes - It will not change anything. After years of looking over my shoulder, waiting for the next shoe to drop - preparing for the terrible (very dramatic) scenarios - the worst did happen. All that stress and worry over everything except the one thing I had never thought of ... So now in addition to getting over all that, I also have to contend with above mentioned changes. (darn !!) Stop worrying, because when /If the worst happens - it helps to look Gorgeous :).
2. NOW is the time to show Friends and Family you love them not later. "Later" just slips by and you're left with regrets.
3. If you are really really sad - pray with other people (go to your place of worship or anywhere you feel comfortable and pray) or go out for a walk or read one of Amanda Quick's older romance novels or Imagine your Perfect Life or just talk about anything to a perfect stranger or your friend/ family ... Escape for a bit and when you return you will be better equipped to hold on and move on.
4. Just keep moving, don't stop. Take baby steps if you just cannot leap .. Just start ...
Finally, the last one for today:
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow". Maryanne Radanbacher.
Take care ...
