Hark – the festive season beckons!! However, not everyone will be feeling fully engaged with the festive spirit of the season. The run-up can be triggering sadness and thoughts of loved ones lost, past and present.
From a personal perspective I know that the loved ones I miss would wish to be fondly remembered and yet would also be willing us to have a fun festive time. However sad I may feel at times I don’t begrudge others having fun and I will also be rising to the spirit of special festive occasions.
People will feel all sorts of emotions for many different reasons, and we should be empathetic and respectful.
This year has dealt such cruel blows to many people. In the weeks ahead – let us be kind to everyone – in business as well as in life generally. You never know what someone is going through or what is happening in their lives. These sentiments are expressed my link to ‘Life’s Cruel Blows”.
As with many other people it is also a time when we miss loved ones, we lost many years ago. In my case my parents:
STAY WITH ME©
In a dream
You are here.
I can see, touch, and sense you.
I know it’s a dream
But just for now
Please stay with me a moment.
Life hurts.
I still miss you.

It is time to have fun and be kind – this year has been particularly harsh.
To smiles, joy, and laughter even in difficult times.
‘Glad tidings of comfort and joy’.
