I suspect you may not be feeling sufficiently cared for, dear Sylvia. You are missing your dear friend, aren’t you? It has been a long winter and that much longer since you have seen him. Any TJ’s or other visits lately? I send you a warm bear hug.
Hey, Mary - actually - I was thinking mostly about the food plan that I started recently - and exercising more - trying to take better care of my physical health. And thinking of the ways that Brad struggled to take care of himself, and how much he showered me with tender loving care.
I also was thinking of carrying extra weight from overeating when many people around the world are starving … lots of contrasts. And thinking about the present global transition from consumerism that’s run amok to hopefully being in more caring harmony with each other.
The most recent ‘visitation’ from Brad - aside from sensing him around a lot, and talking with his older son Wednesday - was having the Subaru totally refuse to start once it got to the repair shop on Thursday with the “check engine” light on so they could get the computer codes to know what was wrong. He may have been Tim Allen with house repairs (and yes there are stories [g]) but he and the ‘Ru seem to have a special rapport. [wry smile].
love -
Syl
Wonderful picture I know you will always cherish Sylvia and we can do the same for the essence of love and caring it so clearly communicates!
In Gratitude!

Hi, Zennie - I did choose to repost this picture for the caring and love. I also posted it as a somewhat bittersweet and poignant admission - Brad died of a heart attack that was the consequence of his not taking adequate care of himself on various levels. And so I have stronger motivation to take better care of myself.
peace -
Sylvia
Sylvia, deeply moving. And if that closeness is getting you to move towards good health, that is the most loving thing. Thank you for sharing this.
Hi, Meenakshi - yes, for me, the commitment to loving myself continues to be core to anything I can share with anyone else - and I’m continuing to get better at practically manifesting that love :-).
I’m sad that loving self did not apparently happen in the same way for Brad - but that was the path he took.
thank you for the support and affirmation :-) -

We doesn´t always know what´s best for our body and soul, do we ? Not before we feel the pain of unbalance. But, how great and enriching it is to feel and know the essence of a deeper love to another person ! Something to cherish and be thankful for, always…
