Tonight I had to make time for myself, I had to try to restore and recharge my emotional tank.

After returning from Thailand,  so many things went wrong. We lost three loved one’s, my brothers lung collapsed and Theo went for a test in hospital and ended up staying after some surgery.

Then I got that call. The call that turned my day upside down. I had to phone an ambulance,  my neighbor felt she was done of crying, fighting and trying, she was done, she was giving up on life.  I had to try,  with the help of paramedics on a conference call, to keep her alive, to keep her awake while help was on its way.

I pleaded that she must keep on fighting, but she asked me to let her die. I felt so hopeless, filled with fear and heartbroken,  because she felt that her family failed her, she felt alone and unwanted,she tried to take her own life.

While relaxing in a warm bath,  filled with flower petals and the aroma of essential oils that surrounded me, I thought about life. The mobile, hanging over my bath, reminded me what life is all about.  It is about love, hope and joy.

There is no joy, no hope when someone feels unloved. Love  your family, spend time with them. Be kind and serve one another. Make no room for regrets. Tomorrow is  not promised and today is short.
