Life.... is a journey too.
Dec 29th, 2020 at 1:26pm
 
We travel along our own life’s path every day and always at crossroads, making decisions which way to go.

This what happened yesterday...

I open door to see a beautiful basket of different potted flowers and scratchy lotto cards.

I thought it was a wrong delivery at my door step!
Then I found out whom it was from.
I then cried for 10 minutes.
It was a gratitude gift.
The story is....
I saw hubby at front of gate near road with his golf buggy putting bins out...when a young  person was walking across road to him and hubby was pointing directions of which way was what towns.
He came up to me in the buggy asking me “how do I call a taxi?” (As he has an ancient 12 year old flip phone)... telling me this young gal had a fight with bf and kicked her out of car driving off with her phone and was very upset ...so I grabbed my iPhone and went down with hubby to see this young lady and called a taxi for her (will be about 45 mins) So we left as she waited safely near our gate for taxi.
I felt concern and went down to give her a bottle water, a muesli bar and a new mask in case the taxi driver insisted on mask wearing in vehicle. I talked to her in comforting way and spoke of some life’s dilemmas that crop up and survival etc. I offer to call her parents but she didn’t know their number by memory.
My suggestion from my own experience RE: phone numbers only in phone was to write on a business size card important contact numbers should the phone be unusable etc
I spoke of my daughters dilemma once with a bf that took her mobile phone off her and how she managed to finally get through to us when she was abandoned on own in night in city etc
I joked saying we all need to learn Bear Grille’s survival tactics 😁
Well I took off thinking I perhaps annoyingly talk too much so she could have her smoke and wait for taxi.
Hubby kept an eye out and told me the taxi came earlier (20 mins wait instead of 45) and she was okay and gone safely.

Thinking nothing more of it until this site of beauty was discovered and she rang to say thank you to us for helping her, how it meant a lot, and how rare it is to find helpful people like us in this day and age.
Now you know why I cried. How lovely her gesture was💕 I’m the one that’s greatful!

I understand we need to be careful with people/strangers and the drug endemic etc but sometimes... we just need to remember how some people will be in a situation of dire distress... and do genuinely need help when the world feels against them.🌹
Such are the journeys and divisions at cross roads in every day life.

Nice sentiments folks  Smiley
I’m so nervous with these pretty delicate plants... I will probably end up murdering them  Grin I just don’t have a green thumb. I have tried... but to no avail... that’s why I initially thought it was sent to wrong address  Grin
There are 3 plants that seem to survive around me...Rosemary, black rose, and agapanthus!
I’m about to book a flight to Queensland finally after all Covid restricted year...have to get so someone to look after these plants!
Now our beloved pets have crossed the rainbow bridge, I thought there was some freedom of further concern .. then along comes plants... didn’t think I would get it easy  Grin
But... I can handle plants dying... pets.. not so much  Embarrassed

This journey does not provide me with flowers.

So I am looking forward to it ending.

A month ago, a cluster munition exploded over the place where I was. But I was unlucky again. 42 fragments hit a metal table that was standing 10 steps away from me. And 4 holes were in my food pot that was hanging 5 steps away from me.

In any case, I wish all of you that you get a lot of flowers during your journey.

The fields of youth are filled with flowers,
The wine of youth is strong:
What need have we to count the hours?
The summer days are long.

But soon we find to our dismay
That we are drifting down
The barren slopes that fall away
Towards the foothills grim and grey
That lead to Old Man's Town.

And marching with us on the track
Full many friends we find:
We see them looking sadly back
For those who've dropped behind

But God forfend a fate so dread —
ALONE to travel down
The dreary road we all must tread,
With faltering steps and whitening head,
The road to Old Man's Town!

This Topic has been a bit of a journey since 2020.

Shocked
Where did that time go so fast?!!

I wonder how that young lass is going?

Such a lot happens in 4 years, then sometimes it feels like not much has changed.

If not flowers for you, (RAVEN ?) then I wish you hope, strength, and resilience, for your difficult surrounds and journey  Embarrassed

This is a good verse.

But for me, it's not only about impending old age, but also that the whole structure of my life has been completely broken since I was 40 years old.

As far as I understand, there was a man with the nickname Raven here earlier. He and I are different people.

Thank you for your kind wishes to me!
