Just let it go - you are poorly

You put yourself forward to help hold a stall at an event, there will be another 4-5 people there throughout the day.
You thought it will be important to share the words about a project you have been working on.
There are a number of projects you are working on. Too many actually. It is ok though, you can manage.
You developed all the leaflets, posters for the event, you even posted one tweet or two.
Here it is, a day before the event, you are hit by an horrible cold, what do you do:
a) still go to hold the stall the following day - just stuck it up.
b) let your colleague know that you are feeling poorly, yet promise to drop the leaflets and posters.
You choose a), you are feeling horrid all day, yet meet a lot of people and your colleagues are happy to see you although you complain all day that you are feeling crap.
You choose b)  you still feel horrid, you feel like you have to do something to make it up for your absence.
Just let it go - you are poorly and can't think straight, no guilt to be held for your absence.

Horrid Airbnb Experience - Part 6

In part 5, M. confront B. who is half of the man we first met. He cries and he is ashamed of himself. He promises he won't drink no more. We decide to keep him one more night and to help him with his car the following day. The night comes. M. is called to visit his sister. I decide to go with him reluctantly.  As M. and I come out of the house. B. comes down the stairs and said that he is going for a walk. I do not trust him. M. said to me to not worry that he talked to him and everything will be fine. We arrive in front of her sister house. I decide to go back to the house as I am not feeling well. I go back to the house. No one yet. I can hear the clickety of the keys in the door. I decide to open it because I know B. is back. He looks at me, scared. In his a Tesco bag with a pack of 10 Stella Artois. I am horrified. I decide not to confront him. He goes upstairs to the bedroom. I call M.: ''Come back to the house NOW''

When it is good...

When it is good, it is so so good. You are in nirvana as you live for a second or two right now. And then before you know it, It's gone. Accept it. Do not look back. I can't promise that they will be some more enlightenment tomorrow. Yet if you start dancing and smiling, it will be so so good.

Sorrow Cycle - Love is here to stay

If you find yourself going through another cycle of sorrow and grieving, there is a song that may help you.  ''Love is here to stay'', the music was written by  George Gershwin  with lyrics by  Ira Gershwin .  Ira Gershwin wrote the words after George's death as a tribute to his brother’s passing. The song resonates with me as I find myself missing a person I love dearly. It puts forward that whatever changes, love is here to stay. The memory of love received, the love that still remains that you receive each day, the love that you give, the love that you feel, the love that is still there to welcome within your life. It will always be there regardless of the earthquake, tsunamis, illnesses and sadness. No point closing yourself from it by fear of losing it again, embrace it and live fully.
