LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST

Reality is a very sobering thing !!

This week I had a client tell me they had 14 months to live they have a very aggressive brain tumour and going through the usual cancer treatment.  Someone so young and yet their life is going to be cut so very short for her.  The partner you leave behind also has to deal with the situation at present and then the loss afterwards.  Very hard to be able to cope with all that and be strong for the person that is going to die - I just couldn't get it out of my head and how sad it made me feel for both of those people dealing with all those emotions individually and together and yet appear to be so very strong.

About an hour and a half later another client informed me they have got breast cancer !!  This is becoming ridiculous.  Fortunately I believe that they removed it all but still what is happening with our world ????

On the weekend not only did my precious Rastina pass away, but another friend dropped dead with a stroke !!!  It becomes too much hopefully that is the three strikes and nothing will happen now for a while.

So make sure you live your life and plan your trips, holidays, hug your kids, tell your Mum & Dad you love them and smile at a person you don't know - you just don't know what they are going through and a smile will help brighten their day.  Do something nice for your neighbour, help out the elderly, be grateful for every day you wake up as you really don't know when it's going to be your last do you?

As you hit your 50's unfortunately people die around you all the time and it's hard to adjust that you are no longer going to have these people around you.  What I struggle with is that you can no longer communicate, pick up the phone to talk to them it takes a while to sink in for me.  Death is something I have never really dealt with and I don't go to any funerals as they give me panic attacks, I know no one likes them but just lately there seems to be a lot of them happening.  Please don't think it disrespectful if I am not at the funeral, sometimes I can manage to go to the wake but usually not for long.  
I have been informed this is the latest way to catch up with the people you know but I just cant quite grasp that.

MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS AND GIVE IT A REAL GO !!
