Thank you Sharla 🙂
Beautiful and apt
Thanks Celestine 🙂
Only in your last days you can win or claim victory? Yikes! I hope personally I get the opportunity to win while I’m still alive.
I believe you will Roxi, You’re strong, and you fight. You haven’t given up, so you have already started winning. The first part of winning comes when you think “I will win, I will beat you” At that point, your mind, your soul, your sense of self are prepared to win and to fight to win. Just by saying that, you are on the road to victory.
You smile, you laugh, you have joy in your heart Roxi, you are at that point where you are “close” to winning. I don’t mean you are about to win, because there is only won way you can win the life race and that’s by finishing. Which is what my quote refers to. All other wins – the race for a job, the challenge of parenting, beating disease – they are “close wins” They are the best you can do without crossing the finish line.
Sweet Alastair, thank you so much for the clarification of what the intended message was in your quote. Had me worried there for a second. Thanks for being part of my journey my friend.
This is deep. Deeper than I’m able to go at the moment, but I like it. I will ponder it some more.
Thanks Molly. Hope everything is going alright
It is, thank you, as long as I keep my arm stiff and my eye on the prize. I will be forever confused by the fact that was borne of two people that I am almost completely and totally unlike. It’s as though the pendulum said, “nope, we’re going almost all the way to the other side…” So yes, as long as I “Heisman” this situation, I will be ok. The process will be long…. Breathing. Watching funny movies. 🙂
😀 Watching funny movies can cure nearly all ails
Yes. Thank you. 🙂
Very nice and so nicely done and written too!
Thanks Ute 🙂
Well said, Alastair.
Thank you Lori
You say so true, Alastair!
Have a victorious evening! 🙂
Thanks, you too Stefania
I just posted a really long comment in reply to that and I don’t think it posted, so in summary. Nicely put, Alastair, but it’s not just the winning that counts is it? It is also about the taking part ????
That’s true. 🙂 The human race, where there truly is only one way to win. I checked the spam folder, and the only thing in there was a lump of spam 😦
So wise – so nice – so true 😀
Thank you 🙂
There you go!!!!!
😀
Wisely said. Thanks and Love, nia
Thank you Nia 🙂
