“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” Helen Keller www.imdb.com/title/tt0056241/ <<<1962 version staring Patty Duke as hellen keller www.imdb.com/title/tt0079562/ <<<1979 version staring Patty Duke as Annie the teacher of hellen keller i prefer the 1979 version basically for most of her childhood she lived like a wild animal(my take)amongst her family...it was a HUGE struggle to pull her out of that...

Deep Life Quote: Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things. Don’t get caught up in what you can’t control. Focus on the positive.

For every dark moment in your life there will be a beautiful one. Life works its way in circles, for there is balance in everything. So don't be too hard on yourself when things are bad, just remind yourself that something good is on its way. Because you understand that the Universe will deliver.
Roger Lee.

A meaningful life is not being rich, being popular, or being perfect. It’s about being real, being humble, being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others.

A meaningful life is not being rich, being popular, or being perfect. It’s about being real, being humble, being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others. Love that. I find people who are truly themselves to be content. They go with the flow. There's an inner glow about them and a permanent smile on their face that makes you think they know something you don't. They do. Being able to share my passions fills me with joy overflowing.

It has been a challenge to get good thoughts at end of the day . There were many things I wanted to say about my mommy . Stumbled during my speech about mom . So grateful a 2X2 had copied it to her phone . Lost my way !
I will never forget being there as I said goodbye . The nurses were explaining everything . Why she was given hydro morphine and Ativan for comfort . I was honoured to be with mom . In those final minutes the nurse said at 9 mp she was near death She had great life . When the nurse checked back in mom was gone . In those precious moments I moved as close as I could get . She had not spoken or moved for 6 and 1/2 hour her eyes remained closed . At 9:03 I kissed her and said you are okay momma , she opened her eyes for about 2 minutes . Her eyes were directly at me as she slipped from my arms . I know she knew I was there I whispered you can go , family awaits you . Then the eyes the closed . So have been focusing on all of our travels and fun we had together , I was blessed 🥲 Mom and my bro were extremely close . I hitched myself to Dad . But after Dad passed we had another chance to forge a new relationship . She shared so much with me . I am blessed 🥲 What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas . It was our final trip . So I try each night to draw on good things we shared . The circle of life was done ! Now we turn the page 📄

It certainly leaves a hole in your life when you lose a parent, but it sounds like you left her with some 'good thoughts at the end of her days'...My condolences

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

1chinesewhispers please do not let that small stumble spoil your memory of your great contribution in the latter days of your Mother's life, and that beautiful service that you had a big part in. We felt so sorry for you, and I am sure others would have felt the same way. Mobile phones are frustrating at times, I will not repeat the comments that my Wife makes when they go wrong, lots of expletives. At least you never resorted to that.
You Ladies excelled with that service and showed the way it can be done. IMO you show more compassion and feeling than us guys, that adds a soft touch to the service. That was a fitting tribute to your Mother, stand tall, you deserve full credit for your input.

Do everything with a good heart and expect nothing in return, and you will never be disappointed.

Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but you just breathe, walk away and let life take care of them. Hugh Jackman

Instead of being ashamed of what you've been through, be proud of what you have overcome.

We all have pasts. We all made choices that maybe weren't the best ones. None of us are completely innocent, but we get a fresh start every day to be a better person than we were yesterday.

Understand, that you own nothing in this world. Everything surrounding you is only temporary. Only the love you have in your heart will remain forever.

What happened, you gave the link to the good thoughts for today then took it away? I have to be patient and wait for you to post a good thought every day.

Maybe we all shouldn't expect Redback to carry that whole burden by himself and help him out once in awhile!
I know I haven't been doing my best along that line.

Yesterday was a wonderful day!
I had to take a short drive of about 30 miles to another town here in the mid-west to get my second vaccine dose.
It was a sunny day -the redbud trees & other wild fruit trees were in bloom and I thought, "I think I will to just meander though the country on the older roads on the trip back."
So I did.
I can't explain why but for some reason a whole shoulder load of weariness and cares of life dropped right off my shoulders.
Maybe I should do that more often.

I spent most of last week fighting with the IRS and State of IL... Seven hours on the phone, mostly on hold... So no good thoughts at the end of the day Maybe I'll try driving on back roads through the country side tomorrow and see if that helps

Good for you Dmg, it does lift the Spirit as we see the beauty around us. Nature can be our God, enjoying what has been provided for us now, not worrying about the unknown.
