Thank you for sharing your love and your testimony for your mother. I felt the love you have for her and that she also had for you in your writings. I also lost my Dad to Alzheimers, that horrible thief that steals memories and experiences, and truly felt blessed by your words. I think the most difficult thing was learning to understand him as he mentally declined and walked the treacherous paths in losing his memories. He was always loved and sometimes, the things he would do and say were very funny and made us laugh. I am happy to say my mother is still living and very happily, I might add, at 88 years. I feel very blessed and will remember your many thought provoking words as I deal with some of the issues that face her in her elder years. Yes, we are very blessed to have had such wonderful parents.

Thank for your positive comments and sharing Daryl,
Interestingly enough everyone, including men, benefit from creating a supportive network of people. Connecting with people finding things that are fun and you feel happy are important. Shutting yourself off has it’s benefits for a short time but then it’s time to come out and “play” again.

Here’s to finding attainable solutions in with a least one other mind,
Bonnie

Hi Bonnie,

I love your blog and I can totally relate to it! I admit that I can be hard to myself especially when I haven’t done something right. I am also constantly pressured with the idea that I have to perform and exert more effort in everything that I do.

And when faced with all the stress, I just shut myself out from the world and finally I am okay again. I guess people have different ways on how to handle pressure and stress and I believe that the best way to overcome it is by creating some attainable solutions to our problems.

Keep posting these type of blogs Bonnie. It sure is a life-saver!

Dearest Bonnie ~
I am sorry for the earthly loss of your mother and, feel profoundly blessed by your beautiful words here. What a lovely legacy she has left, and thank you for the gentle nudges to inspire us to look at what we give that will be left behind. We say that “there are no words” when someone passes from this life, but when my father passed, people said amazingly beautiful things to me that I love to pass on when it feels good, like now … You have the best of your mother in you! She continues to live through you (to all of us, Bonnie, this is obvious!). I am quite sure, that from where she sees you now, she is very proud and of course, smiling.

Take care of beautiful you, and remember how very much you are loved. xo Diane

Janet, you are so on it with all that is going on and in light of the current world crisis. My motto has changed to make me be graceful with what life is. I keep focusing on what’s is joyful and catch myself looking at triggers me or when I get into anxious mode that makes life hard for me. Mom’s last words as her body wasn’t as strong were by Grace I can do this. She attributes those words to me but was really her way of being in her humanness.

Thanks so much for posting. I love hearing your comments.
Bonnie

Dear Caryl,
Thank you for your beautiful comment. I, as her daughter and we as the rest of my family, friends and her friends and professionals were blessed by her. So much more than I know she realized. I think Mom and I both agree we each want to look for our own gifts and where do we “see” them mirrored back. It is so easy to fall into how we don’t measure up or to compare ourselves or beat up on ourselves for our humanness. I hope the blog inspires others to see what are they going to leave behind. Release in whatever way they can to live here now more happily and leave behind the legacy they would want.

With much appreciation for who you are,
Bonnie

Bonnie,
What a beautiful testimonial of your mother’s legacy, her mission and purpose so clearly defined. She graciously gave in abundance. Her splendor, her radiant beauty is so clearly described in your passage. She was able to express her care and love for others and support many in various ways, she is an extraordinary woman. You and others were so blessed to have received her magnificent gifts of love. After reading your heartfelt words I have a greater understanding of who you are. Your mother held a mirror up to you and in her reflection she shone a light, lighting a pathway for you to walk in your own beauty. You are a beautiful soul! I send you my heartfelt emotions, my care and a huge hug! Thank you for sharing your emotions and feelings. Love ~ Caryl

I read your blog – it is very nice and SO true. I try to see the miracle and “reason” in everything – good or bad.
Glass half full, rather than empty.
Some days it’s hard – but I think that’s part of it – the challenge that makes us stronger and appreciate it more.
It’s constant work – life!
Thanks again,

Hi Eva,
I believe first you shift yourself. Let go of blame etc and then see what the choices are. I absolutely believe there are times to let go of a relationship. The most fun is when you see the relationship become a win for both as you shift. I hear that all the time from my clients how the person they were upset with “changed” once they did.
Thanks for your post

Bonnie
