Reflections on New Year

A sad poem although this is reality for many.
Do you know who wrote it RosiesMawagain?

I think I’ve always been conscious of the way the world carries on regardless of our own personal joys and tragedies. Maybe because I encountered family deaths from an early age and the way the waters closed over after a while and life went on.
I did spend yesterday going through some momentoes I’ve kept, remembering and wishing I’d done better😢

More cheerily though, I think I still am counted on, even if it’s only financial. When I realised last year that I wasn’t going to have to worry about provision for extreme old age ( which I had been doing) I decided that I would
a) spend my monthly income on whatever I wanted ( cue 6 pairs of new shoes in bright colours)
b) having done that give away whatever was left over each month to somebody’s need - personal or organisation

I can’t tell you the fun and pleasure I’ve had from both of those. I like to think the local beauty place relies on income from me to keep going! Not unseen and definitely not untouched - in all senses of the word🙂

Way to go, Lathyrus ! 🤣🤣🤣

Lathyrus good for you girl!😃

I think there could be some relief in not being so needed, it’s a time maybe to blossom as just ourselves.
Happy New Year to all 🎉
