I am grateful daily that you did not succeed in your effort, boy.  

I'm also grateful that life has become more meaningful, though I know you still don't understand it.  I don't think many of us do.   

I see joy in you and spirit. And while we are not on this earth for a long time, we should endeavor to make it as meaningful as we can.

I cannot answer why. I only know that doing so makes it easier to live each day. 

Life is easier when we can live it well.  I'm no dreamer, I've seen the underworld, the unkind side of life, cruelty, hatred, poverty, it needs fixing. 

Truthfully, we live in a cesspool which needs to be repaired to be fair and good for all. But how?

Until we manage that herculean task, we need to help each other as best we can.

Some of that fortitude has to come from the spark within us. Sometimes we need help to find it. Sometimes we need to see the bottom of the barrel to know there's something better. 

You're so right when you say that people can be our salvation. 

Life is what me make it, but it's better when we do that together.

You are in such an amazing place right now and I'm so proud of you. Sometimes it's hard not to focus on the negative, especially when it brings you into a headspace that's not a good place to be. 

We all need reminders everyday of what's good in life. Having a support system is crucial. 

Thanks for the reminder to stop and focus on the good stuff (like donuts)

xoxo

Thank you .. i'm doing okay.  i just felt so badly this morning with all the sad things happening, i wanted people to know they can help themselves and often that means asking others to help.

And yes, a life without donuts would be sad.  i'd have to learn to make my own! lol

Sometimes, I wonder what I’m doing here, but then something puts that thought to rest, at least until the next time. Thankfully, “next time” usually comes.

This little guy still makes me smile. 

I am truly glad you’re still with us, tim. 

Love you lots. xoxo

i'm glad there's always a next time.
