Change of plans...

Well it happens doesn't it, plans change all the time.  We change them; we don't stick to them (WW for me this week), we sabotage them, people sabotage them for us and then sadly at times, life cruelly dashes them.

This last week or so has served to remind us all that once again, life is too short to be too serious about these plans.  

Yes it's important to have them, yes they help us on our way, yes they keep us in check, but we also need to recognise that sometimes our plans are transformed back into a blank canvas, either by choice or not.

I was told by a very brave, inspiring and courageous friend this week; that her newly heartbreakingly blank canvas that she is suddenly faced with, will be just fine.  Just fine because she knows whatever happens, her blank canvas will be full of love and laughter no matter which direction life took next.  Maybe it's something we should all remember.  

Life is what we make of it, no matter what is thrown at us, no matter how many curveballs we're thrown or create.  

Keep going.  

For some people sadly don't get this chance.

Rest in peace to those we've lost these last few weeks, you will be sadly missed. To those we miss daily but have been gone a while, we've not forgotten.  

"Those we love don’t go away,

They walk beside us every day,

Unseen, unheard, but always near,

Still loved, still missed, and very dear.”

Much love, Sammy xx
