About the book
The threads of our lives
Are our connections
With one another.
We are each artists
In our own lives,
Weaving those threads
Into a beautiful pattern.
This is the beginning of a new poem I am working on, I would love some feedback from readers about this.
When we suffer a personal loss, it is sometimes very difficult to get ourselves out of the rut we find ourselves in. What has helped me is to remember that we cannot live in the past and let the loss and grief determine our present. Our lives stand for possibility. The journey of life is about going forward, making daily progress. I have to live in the now and hope that I will be better tomorrow. I am always aware that my yesterdays have helped me to become who I am today. Good memories are mine forever and I am learning to take comfort from them.
