There are times when I'm told not to dwell in the past. I fully believe that the past is the foundation of what we are today. If we forget our past, we are lost.
No one knows what our futures will hold. We can only strive to have the physical and mental strength to go forward - - with courage, passion, and dignity. Keep the blessings you have in your heart, find some semblance of optimism no matter what tribulations you might face. Be thankful for every day. Time is a treasure.
God bless you and your family.
Jon, ❤️ with heartfelt love

Deletethecontemplativecat here. Who knows the coming year. I have Parkinson's , newly diagnosed. My hands are starting to show it. So this year, hopefully, will go okay. One thing about Parkinson's is that there is no way up, but all the way down. So, here's to you, Jon. I raise my glass of diet coke to toast you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you have Parkinson's. My grandmother had it, long ago when no much was known about it. My fingers are very numb from all the meds I was taking. Thankfully I'm getting far less here.
DeleteTake care, prayers and blessings for you to stay strong. ❤️
Moving sentiments, Jon. Best to you this coming year. God knows you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of the kitties and doggies. Nothing sweeter.

I've been through so much that its a never-ending journey through hell. All I can do is strive for the best.
DeleteI had a lot of trouble with Freepix yesterday (my AI website) could hardly make any pictures.
Take care and hope the new year will be kind to you. ❤️
