Though Sonia seems to be very spiritually grounded, her words about losing her brother David struck a chord with me. I learned yesterday that a former colleague passed away after a three year battle with pancreatic cancer.
My former co-worker Kathy was a friend to everyone. I have never before been around anyone so cheerful, kind, and loving. She was sure to brighten your day anytime you chanced upon her. I told my former boss when I heard the news that we just lost an angel here on Earth.
I found comfort today in Sonia’s words,
The next few days are going to be rough ones. I’m sure that I will need to be reminded numerous times that if I would keep my focus where it belongs, things would be so much better. I cannot change the circumstances. I cannot change other people. All I can change is me…my attitude.
A green pasture sounds so cool and inviting. It sounds like the other side of the pillow feels to a fevered brow. Like cool water from the garden hose on a hot summer day. Refreshing. Soothing.
I hope she also find peace during these difficult days in front of her.
