I’m walking particularly early this foggy autumnal morning. As I #pauseforreflection I’m navigating a day where we are saying goodbye to another one of our good friends’ parents – 4th one this year alone.
Most of our friendship circle have lost parents - some as young as 75 others as old as just shy of 101. Each one reminds me of the goodbyes to my own parents who both died young ! It’s a reminder to live every day to the full. We in the West don’t ‘do’ death very well. Some believe if there is true and deep love there is no separation between us when we die – we can still exist in the same realm. Quite beautiful really.
This week I’m reflecting on all the stages of life – births, deaths and marriages, and all the rest. What about the child-rearing stage, the empty-nesting stage, retirement, menopause, the stage when I’m dealing with some health and/or aging challenges, the stage where I’m happy to be the passenger instead of the driver, the stage where I become the mentor, the stage when I’m learning, the stage when I’m earning and providing security for me and my family, the stage when I’m sitting quietly in contemplation after a rich life… Do we honour all the stages appropriately? Sometimes they are a true struggle and even traumatic, other times there is cause for celebration. I see and hear about too many missed opportunities for celebration.
So this week as you #pauseforreflection, I ask you to consider >>>
Am I honouring the life stage I’m in with grace and acceptance?
As ever, the challenge - To truly understand that what we give out eventually comes back to us.
Until next time….Keep Shining,
