Good day and happy new week to everyone!
I had a fantastic but exhausting day yesterday - mentally and emotionally in the morning and physically in the afternoon - but this ensured the best sleep I've had in a while! It finally stopped raining too and the weather was perfect for the 'Race for Life', like the weather was on your trip CoCo - not too hot or cold, and a gentle breeze. I also met best friend from school who I'd lost contact with 25 years ago!! She had a really harsh childhood - both parents alcoholic and usually absent. She was the eldest of 8 children and she raised them practically single-handed - and yet she remained happy in spite of the unhappiness, a true example of a survivor. In a way, I guess that could be like Tibet - they could just cruble under the tyranny but instead they stand tall and make the best of the life they have.
They may take us captive and oppress us in body but our hearts, minds and spirits remain free. I wonder if that's what Jesus was getting at when he said not to fear those who kill only the body, but the 'one' (whoever that may be - outside the religious context it might even be ourselves) who can destroy body and soul. Hmmmm... thinking...
It's good to hear you've found peace with loved ones too CoCo, sometimes we just have to let it go, this becomes easier to do with practice although you may still have the occasional slip. Keep going!
I took one of my cats to the vet for a heart checkup this morning, we've been trying her on beta-blockers to slow it down a little. The vet was very pleased with her progress, although the tablets are merely delaying the inevitable, at least she's comfortable and happy.
I love reading everyone elses daily events here too!
