As 2007 Begins.....

First of all, let me begin by sending all readers of this blog a wish, with the hope that the year, each and every day, brings each and every one of you all the best that life has to offer. Of course, we know that this cannot always be possible, as life, has a tenacious, even dark side, and can, and often does, get in our way. That being said, some days are good, others better, still others not so good, and some bring on a state of complete despair. Nevertheless, one must still go on living, with the hope that light will continue to be present.

As many may have noticed, I have not written on my blog for awhile. So many changes here, starting a new job, getting a new puppy, and the health of my daughter beginning to deteriorate even more. What is the solution? What can one do when faced with pain, suffering and even despair? Is it fair to expect others to carry the burden for us? I think not. Each one of us, has a responsibility to ourselves, to try to make the very best of the lives we are given. Unfortunately, there are no scripts nor magic wands that can surface to bring about change as we may desire or see fit. Hard work, and sometimes a bit of disappointment transpire, but nevertheless, one must go on as best he/she can with the life we are given.

That being said, I am grateful to have a good family, and am blessed with many caring friends. Staying positive as many know has been an attitude that I have worked hard to embrace. Lately, however, like vapor, this seemingly fleeting state of mind has currently escaped me.

Tomorrow is a new day. . . Newness promises change, sometimes, even when we least expect it to transpire, it may, whether we desire the out-come or not, or if it is as we wanted, may be necessary for our growth and our own good...

Be well, take good care, and be mindful that even if one does not feel like putting a smile on his/her face, once there, G-d will give you a reason to smile....

Thank you for your minds...
