The present is all we have.

I firmly believe that we should not fret about the past or worry about the future because the present moment is all we have and the only thing we can do anything about.  Try not to focus on rhe past and don’t let painful memories or feelings dominate you and make you unable to rejoice what life brings us in the here and now. Don’t waste precious energy worrying about what the future will bring,  ibstead focus your energy on making the present day a good one. Spread love and goodwill to those around us in the present moment and then the future will take care of itself.  It’s mindfulness in its most pure form and leads to peace calmness and serenity in your everyday life  God has plans for us all

Groundhog day

Do you need a break? From what?

I know I have answered this question before but today i feel like writing anotber answer. I feel like my life is Groundhog Day, the same day over and over again as I wait for word about The Haven the social housing that I hope to move into soon. My life feels like it is set to repeat,  whereas i am hoping to have it be reset to random or shuffle of a more positive kind. Oh well all I can do is wait and see. Patience is a virtue after all.

Significant Life Events

How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

My perspective on life has been shaped by quite a few significant life events. The event in my life that has most affected my perspective on life has definitely been my experience of mental health issues.  It changed my life forever when I was diagnosed.  Initially I experienced a lot of stigma, from some ignorant people,  and I lost some so-called friends as a result. I learned the lesson to only surround myself with good people,  with good intentions.  It has shaped me to have great compassion and empathy, and made me a gracious and grateful 🙏🏽 person.  Being denied some things as a result of my mental health issues has given me an appreciation of the little things and finer things in life. I now have serenity and a love of the simple pleasures 🙏🏽 of life. I am contented and at peace.

The passing of my Dad, Susanna and Michael has made me treasure true love ❤️ and true friendships.  Life is short, appreciate your loved ones whilst they are here on Earth 🌎 because our loved ones aren’t on earth forever.  Our souls are eternal though,  so always keep and be blessed by the love of those we hold dear. Life is short, so appreciate it whilst we still have it

Carl and Gisele

Two of my favourite people in this 🌎 world would have to be Carl and Gisele.  I met them through Brunswick Baptist Church and they are definitely amazing, so generous and well to do.  I would describe them as a super couple, a power couple.  They have the most beautiful marriage, it is lovely to watch how they interact. Gisele is stunningly beautiful.  She could easily be a model, but I don’t think that would interest her, she is so happy being Carl’s wife. Carl is very much the gentleman with a peaceful nature. He is witty and clever and we share a love ❤️ of 🎶 music.  They both are always so kind to me and I love and respect them both very much. They are true Christians and wonderful friends. I don’t take that for granted. True friends are a gift from God.

What Am I Most Scared To Do

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

There are a few things in life I wouldn’t do no matter what. These things would be bungy jumping and skydiving.  There is nothing that could convince me to do either 

On a more personal note I would never get romantically involved with anyone ever again. My past experience has taught me that getting that involved ultimately causes pain and the couple of people in my lifetime I have chosen to get involved with turned out to be terrible people, not worthy of my love.  I would need an ironclad guarantee from God and Jesus that it would be different 🙏🏽 🙌 this time around.  I think Susanna and all my friends 🧡 would like me to have a decent person to love in my life, but I am at my happiest giving my love to Lily  my best friend and companion. I am surrounded by wonderful friends and that is worth more than any romantic involvement.
