Only God knows when we die, let’s focus on living

Would you agree with me that each person can only write and understand from their personal experience? Someone can be well read, very knowledgeable and even have a wealth of life experience, however their perspective is still their perspective. So communication, relationships and agreeing to disagree is the only way we can survive the human experience. I am grateful for social media, it has connected me to so many powerful voices that inspire me and give me food for thought.

So let’s talk about death. It does not scare me. I think like my mother, everything is a cycle and when it is our time, it is our time. Only God knows when we die, so let’s focus on living!

I have the best example of longevity, fun and being present in my own parents. Please God may they both live until 120! Now in their 80’s, their lives are so full, so we usually do not have time to call and say hello. I feel blessed to come from a family where there was always unconditional love, but also an understanding and allowance to have a free spirit. That spirit was never compromised, stopped or altered. Yes, there was always advice from a loving perspective, encouragement to achieve goals and always examples from their own life stories.

At this point in life, their job is to take care of their health. While we are on this earth, why not live fully, feeling your best, and make a priority of being your best physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

I was blessed with good genes and enjoyed a healthy, active lifestyle. Not until my 40’s did I start experiencing body pain, and having to pay attention. Now in my fifties, I cannot afford not to pay attention. If we do not attend to and listen to our body, it could get stuck. The goal is to get unstuck on a regular basis. The secret is to find ways to do it that you enjoy. I have always enjoyed massage and bodywork, and in my forties found out that even though I am a happy person, my muscles hold on to stress and get tight. No wonder I have loved deep and intense massages my whole life. I do not worry, but the worry sticks to my body, so I have to find ways to release it. What helps you disconnect, release and take care of you? If we do not take care of ourselves, who will do it for us? It is not selfish, it is self care.

People in my life have been sick, dying and passing away. Some from long term illnesses, and others are having new diagnoses. A friend from the community lost her husband to a sudden cardiac arrest at fifty years old. All we can do is pray, breathe and refocus on how to keep ourselves balanced, rested and recharged.

Happy to connect and hear what that looks like for you.
