| Getting back to riding again |
The
coolest and the happiest thing in these last few days is – I have started riding, began with small
distances and managed to reach office; and wow what a feeling J
the freedom and independence to be on your own.
This bike has been my
greatest companion and I have been missing my bike since two months. I am so
grateful that I could begin all over again riding with gratitude, happiness and
satisfaction, also saving all the money spent for cabs and autos… J

2nd January was
my sons 6th death anniversary and it was a reminder, to myself as to how lucky I was to experience “Emmanuel”
which means God with us – and my son was
truly an experience of divine love; thinking about him brought me rich memories
of him filling me with gratitude for the seven precious years he was with us.

Happy to reconnect with
YWCA a place where I am involved and meet all the women friends, cut the cake once again with prayers and singing, an experience
love and fellowship combined with meaningful activity.

| Glad to cut the cake for 4th time :) |
Thanks to my daughter for suggesting to bring home some
fish; she felt like having some fish
curry/fry, so bought some fish, marinated for curry and rest for frying…

I enjoyed preparing
fish curry and also fried the fishes; grateful for every meal we have; and for the
gift of a home wherein I sleep secure and assured, peacefully that a new
tomorrow will dawn and I will rise again, fresh with a newness of the morning,
open to experience what the day holds for me.
I am blessed with a
family that’s always been there, for so many years now - I have learnt to value
relationships a lot more especially in the last few months, wherein I needed
help, a shoulder and a loving hand to reach out to me.
For all the gifts I
have received, for a body that is recovering and for every part of my being that’s
functioning and reminding me that I am alive, and there is so much more to
accomplish in life!!

is one of the most medicinal emotions we can feel; it elevates our moods

So pleased to hear you're riding your bike again Genevive! The photos are all lovely and happy and bring a smile to me! I think happiness is contagious ...
ReplyDeleteDid I ever say to you about what I heard a long time ago? re Emmanuel ..? There is a story that a very old and revered rabbi was walking along the road, and people were kneeling before him. He came to a Down's Syndrome child and the rabbi kneeled before this child. The people were amazed and asked why? The rabbi said - these children are most precious, they have been through many stages in previous lives, and now they are on their last stage before their final home - they are G'd's true messengers.
Thanks susan, its always a great feeling to hear from you. Yes you did mention to me about the story, and I was so touched and felt so special and privileged to have been his mother. I am glad to have had the experience of understanding divine love and I consider myself lucky for all the beautiful moments I shared with my son... its a treasure and I cherish it with great fondness..
