It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.

A Path Forward
A Path Forward

 

Two quotes I found that are very relevant to this blog and to which I must apply myself.

C.S. Lewis
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

Joseph Campbell
We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

I have been thinking a lot about my future for the possibly few years that I may have remaining before I pass on. I am 73 soon to be 74 on November 3rd 2023. I just recently lost my love, my life, my wife Deborah on the 15th of March 2023, to the disease they call "Interstitial Lung Disease". We were together for 40 years; it's very hard getting past her loss and I struggle every day to find the will to keep going without her. We had so many dreams, so many plans most of which never materialized but a few did and for those I am very thankful.

So where do I go from here? How do I find new meaning and direction for my life? I do not know for sure but one thing is for certain; if I don't find a way out of this very dark place I find myself in I will just continue to deteriorate physically and mentally. I have never been one to quit when I apply myself to something so I must find the courage to carry on and be happy again but the hill I must climb is so vast!

OK enough of the darkness; lets explore the light that I can see very dimly at the end of this dark tunnel I find myself in. I have been exploring some of Edgar Cayce's readings and believe I know the way to find some purpose and direction to strive for. I must forgive myself first and foremost for all the times I was mean to her; that I was not listening to her wishes and wants; the times I made her feel unloved with my bad actions and words. I am so very sorry baby! I called her baby and she mostly called me honey or babe!

So my journey continues; wish me luck and peace of mind on my endeavors.

You were the best thing that ever happened to her and she loved you deeply. Dont hold the regrets of the tiny things. She wouldn't. And you don't deserve that. I am always right here, struggling to figure out my way forward as well. I love you
