Living and Death

              Receiving the Phone Call

Horses help our Soul

Last evening I received a phone call from my sister that our Aunt was going into Hospice care today... Too me she is young 63, she looks 50 has the greatest smile that warms my heart every time I see her.

I had a difficult time sleeping last night imaging what it must be like for my Aunt to have to call the people she loves and tell them how sick she really is and that her time has come...I come from a very big family that is very close. My Aunt is the first person in our generational family to have cancer. 

What a Blessing to be able to say good-bye , but to have to spend your last days on earth in pain or drugged I struggle with. This past Christmas was my mom's last holiday with all her siblings...I have a very strong faith and I know my Aunt will shortly be on her way to a new adventure , experience, learning. For her , children, siblings, nieces, nephews  and friends there will be a huge loss and  grief ...

Death to me is always a reminder  of how short our time on earth really is... There is no promise that you will live another day. Are we living our lives to the fullest? Here's a list of questions that I was asking myself last night around 3am.

1) Have I told my Aunt enough how much I love and appreciate her.

2) Am I telling everyone in my life how much I love them and what they mean to me?

3) Am I being responsible for my actions?

4) AM I truly finding forgiveness for my self and others?

5)  Am I living the life I want to be living.

6) Am I being kind every day?

7) What do I want to accomplish? What action steps will I start taking now to get there?

8) How do I keep my heart open to fully love? 

9) Am I setting my boundaries to fully honor me?

10) How can I laugh , smile and experience more Joy every day?

11) How can I make a difference more?

12) Am I walking and living my faith ?

13) How can I appreciate my life more and give thanks more?
