'The Five Things we cannot Change' I find so much wisdom in this book by David Richo. 1. Everything changes and ends. 2. Things do not always go according to plan. 3. Life is not always fair.... 4. Pain is a part of Life. 5. People are not loving and loyal all the time. I have had the book since 2008 it is dog eared, marked with sticky notes and each time I go back to it, I wonder why did I ever put it back on the shelf. As I continue to grow it is a comfort to read his words and be reminded of these 5 simple unavoidable givens. Although, I am conscious that we are always creating new experiences and that we can avoid being bruised by the givens, just by being aware of them. They still speak to a part of me. '

At this time, many of us are thinking about our environment: safety, health, and wellbeing. Love yourself, be kind and focus on one thing you are grateful for today. This week is a time of remembrance. I am thankful for all those in my life and the grace and wisdom we have shared.
