My challenge has been to stay positive, active, loving, caring, considerate, and giving. To stop thinking of me 24/7 and to offer love and aid to others – my family, my friends, my community. Many times it’s difficult to persevere when I want to give up, but I feel much better being a better version of myself (even if it’s a small version). This has brought me joy.
Joy is having a loving relationship with my family and friends. I am blessed to have God in my life. I am blessed in so many ways.
Sometimes I feel challenged at 84 to be living alone. I lived in Los Angeles for over 60 years and two years ago I decided to sell my house and move to Palm Springs, CA. A major challenge for a woman who took so many years to grow up. But I did it and am happy in the desert. A major high end challenge!
My daughter and her family are TBE members. They are visiting P.S. for a few weeks and we are attending zoom services together. Thank you for your loving and challenging sermons. I wish you a happy, healthy New Year.
