If you’re lucky in your lifetime you will have a few lifelong friendships, travel modestly, have a love of learning, read, study, enjoy the arts, find your soulmate and of course the love of a good dog!
You are even luckier if you pluck up the courage and receive support to change damaging life habits we’ve been conditioned to believe are normal. The world is in flux, and you are probably asking your how long before gravity and god give up on an unteachable species bent on destroying itself?
So you introspect and change the way you eat, travel or live, to the best of your ability and your situation allows. No one is perfect, the perfect perfectionist has not been born.
Your journey may be met with ridicule and dismay at the outset by your inner circle. This can either be a crushing defeat or spur you on to do better, learn more and hope to bring change and well being to their lives.
As they often do divergent roads circle home. Home is not always a place but a person, group or soul who has a steadfast presence in your life. And to your unexpected delight, one meal and conversation at a time, you see rays of hope. The ridicule lessens and they become mindful of including new thoughts and actions.
Forever friends bicker with each other, steal food off each other’s plates and have wildly different personalities and interests. As we head to the half century mark we realise just as we did in kindergarten to include, accommodate and learn from each other. And that is when you appreciate your extraordinary luck.
