Yes my friend, life sometimes seems to get the better of us. Its been a strange for December for me, as perhaps it has been for you. I have had to deal with a truck collision, much correspondence from the insurance company, followed by a couple of other things that simply added to the troubles of life that sometimes journey to our doorstep.

So, what is the answer  you ask? Well, isn't  that strange, because I was about to ask you the same question. What is the answer?

Sit a while in these early morning hours. Come over, pull up a chair. I shall make you some tea. We can have a little conversation. Ah, I see you notice the Christmas lights of our little tree. Well, yes, that is a little comfort right there. Something about the spirit of Christmas, the coldness that touched me as I opened the door and brought in the morning paper. Each day is a new beginning....

But as I was saying. Things sometimes seem to get the better of us. We journey down this road of life with the ups and downs, with the good days and bad days, we feel better one moment and not so good the next. Something within our very being that is beyond help from having an aspirin or some such comforting pain killer, which just wears off shortly after we take it, so its our thought....that we need something else. Something else. What can that be?
Everything is closing in around us. We feel our very heart beating and night wrapped around our body like a blanket of destiny. We shiver and shake within our very being. What is it you ask, what is it we need that can make it all better?

Rest friend, finish that cup of tea. Just relax a moment. Take comfort in all the good things that have come your way thus far in life. Take comfort in the love and caring from your friends and family. Take comfort in knowing that feeling badly is common and there is always someone down the road who is suffering more and hurting more. In other words, our problems pale in comparison.

There, does that help. Have your tea before its cold.
Now, give yourself a hug. Take a look at the stars in the sky and remind yourself that each and everyone of us is part of this great universe. We simply need to reach out when times and issues stress us out. We simply need to sit a while, relax and bathe in the spirit of love. And you know, all these other problems suddenly...do not look so very bad.  So sleep now friend, have a pleasant dream and may life be good to you.  Thanks for taking a moment with me. Think I needed that as well....
