Matilda, 78, sent us a set of lessons that read like poetry; calm, reflective thoughts good for a Sunday morning (and a snowy
one here).
Over my life, I have learned:
to see the fun in the world instead of dwelling on the unhappy things
to be involved is to feel useful and fulfilled
to have love for others is to receive love
to give to others but also to accept help gracefully
to make changes for the better when possible, knowing that those changes can become ever widening circles - but if they don’t, that’s okay too
that depression is lightened by doing something nice for someone else
that our minds and bodies are intertwined and that positive thoughts influence our bodies in beneficial ways
that life isn’t always smooth but the rough spots bring greater appreciation for the good times
to not live in the past, but to profit from the past while living in the present and the future
How lovely to hear your wisdom Miranda. May you have many more good years. Thank you
Ah, beautiful words. Thank you.
