“We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone”
Seasons in the Sun – Terry Jacks
As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, there are days when I cannot help but think that nothing lasts forever.
Leaves turn different shades of gold and red and then suddenly the trees are bare. Another season is done, and another year will soon be gone.
I try not to think about it too much but every now and then it crosses my mind about people in my life. Who will still be here this time next year and who will be gone? Will we all meet again on the dark side of the moon someday?
All the petty conflicts seem pointless in the grand scheme of this journey we call life. We are here for a brief amount of time, and we get to choose how to spend it. Is it worth holding grudges, judging each other, letting our ego get in the way of relationships?
I believe in karma and that our every action has a consequence. What you give you will get in return in some form. The more you see the good in people and situations, the more you will attract the same.
Our thoughts create our reality so whatever we believe and perceive is what we draw to us. Send out good vibrations and get ready to receive the same. We may not be able to control many things, but we can control our reaction to things.
At any moment, we can decide to change the channel of our thoughts just like using a remote control to change to another channel. If we go with the flow, trusting the Universe, knowing that everything will work out the way it is meant to and let go of control, then we can have faith and let go of our fears.
We cannot change the past, however, we can transform our future by focusing on the NOW. What we believe, think, do in the present is what creates our future, and the future therefore is now.
“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
“Forgiving and not forgetting is, not forgiving in the first place”
“The way you see an individual in your mind is the best they can be in your presence”
“Reality is just perception”
“Nothing in life has any meaning except the meaning that you give it”
“People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.”

As usual, Lata, a very meaningful article. The last quote is one of my favourites, especially since I have been in the situation at least once. Hope you and your family are doing well. All the best for the coming season of lights.
So true Lata! Big things seem so small in the grand scheme of things💕
