I have been contemplating my life from here on in ... for a short while I felt rather stuck. At sixty five I thought that I had achieved all that I could in this life. 'What now?' I wondered. My life partner passed away four years ago(this week), and our children are well and truly grown, with families of their own.
In the last four years I have travelled to places that I wanted to visit. I have published a book about my own personal journey with grief. And I have been doing my part to help others in an uplifting way. But then I considered what was ahead of me ... how long would I live for? Would I spend the next ten, twenty, or thirty years feeling alone and empty? This thinking really depressed me!!
And then it came to me ... I would have to take action. There is no way that I am sitting around waiting to die. I am moving on in a new way. It is another step in my journey - one that goes on with new delights. Life never stops! It just changes, and goes on for eternity ...
I will continue to help others in the way that is suited to me. I will keep on travelling to the places that have meaning for me ... especially Mana Island in Fiji! I will spend quality time with my loved ones, and friends ... just loving them. And I will have fun ... I will laugh a lot! And somewhere along the path I will be reunited with my 'twin flame' ... my true soul love. There is so much to look forward to!
It doesn't matter what age we are, we don't have to stay stuck!! We can do the things that make us happy ... no matter how simple they are, and we can have faith. But it is up to us to take that step! No one else can do it for us! It comes back to changing our thinking ... and asking for divine guidance.
I send you love and peace along your own way,
Jo St. Claire
