Around and Around We Go

"the only constant in life is change, but life is a circle..." me w/others

Today was better than yesterday for me. Now, I am a bit sad. The first posts today on Face book were about a death of a loved one, another later was about a friend fighting cancer. Tonight, a very dear friend asked for prayers for his Mom going to the ER. It seems strange that these posts were mixed in with Oscar watching critiques and jokes. You can add conspiracy theories, sports, competition updates, weather status complaints, songs, 2 blog postings..and 2 birthdays. There was much more..hard to explain it all.

People are born and people die, it is the natural order of things. We celebrate life and birthdays, one more circle around the sun. I just wish...

I wish I could take away people's pain, worry, and despair. Happy, happy people but, ugh! Whew, that would get to be too much. Putting everyone back into Eden, or forward to heaven. I have faced my own death many times. I want to live and am scared to live, but my own passing doesn't worry me. The thought of my kids, husband, friends, family and even the puppy missing me is soothing. Their pain and suffering, no..don't cry, don't grieve. I am okay.

Their possible deaths..no. Whenever, however..can't even think about it.

I believe everybody ends up in their own version of heaven and hell. If you are Hindu, you are on the wheel of re-birth or enlightenment. Mormons have 3 heavens each better than the next, Catholics have purgatory and judgement..or for others maybe a flash of light and nothing, or a soul flitting through the cosmos...

I do think everyone has to face the moment of truth, when you look back at your life and see it through the eyes of a "God".  Every action you did take and feel how that affected everyone around you..through their eyes and emotions. Not good for a murderer, not so unpleasant for a saint. You also get to see all the different outcomes. The what ifs and the did nots..

LOL, since this is my beliefs, maybe it is only MY destiny.

The next level is to work on your next level now..every day. Open your eyes, ears, and take advantage of what you have...amaze yourself.


Have a great day and shine on..TTYAL..You don't want to come back as a cricket. :-)
