Through turmoil, anxiety, sadness and strife, we advance towards betterment and on our journey, we are cajoled, encouraged and supported by the innocence of our 4 legged friends, and they in my opinion are the greatest love we ever experience. They ask for so little but give so much back in their unending loyalty and devotion, a trait so lacking in the human species.
There is a special place where our beloved pets are waiting for us to walk the bridge of life together, It may be somewhile, but their instinct and fortitude prevents us faltering or falling into an abyss, they guard us through this life and the next.
You may have little faith, or no faith at all, but the overwhelming fact is, we are all energy, and energy cannot be extinguished, ever, we may move into a different form, but fundamentally we are still the being we have always been, but in that journey our perceptions, expectations, deliberations, hopes and fears will have changed and developed into a different more meaningful caring existence. I look on it as a university placement, where knowledge is the key, we should never stop learning or being interested in all around us, for its then that many doors will be open to us, whether in this life or the next, for without doubt there is another road less traveled, and as I've already said, we are all energy, and that fact cannot be dismissed. We all have free will, and we all decide what feels right for us at any given time.

I also believe in the power of the universe. I'm not religious so I don't believe in those traditional things after we take our last breath.
I do believe in the rainbow bridge. I know I will someday be united with my best friend. He was the most loving person in my life, No judgement, just love
Don't forget for not all four legged friends come with fur haha. Here is our only resident 🦔, Herman
I hope you are doing well. Thank you for this post, it contains great substance
I always admire your thoughtful posts, a sensitive person, showing the qualities in way around the world that can be missed in the blink of the eye, I had a care free attitude to life in the beginning , and then a forces career was instilled upon me, and then life began I suppose, the nurture side of me disappeared and became a person that I really wasn't comfortable with.
Then my children appeared after leaving the forces, and then disaster hit me, had a start in the building trade and then helping out a friend he decided to leave this world through suicide, I found him hanging, I started to drink more, moved away from the area we lived and tried to rebuild my life, sadly this wasn't the case, I was called upon by a screaming I'll never forget, the lady across the road and I realised that her little baby girl had climbed into a dustbin full of water, yes I knew she had died but continued with the kiss of life , many layers to my life, became an alcoholic, but sober for 12 + years, life's experiences push us in different ways and try not to be judgemental, the journey continues and once my children die I doubt anyone will remember me, yes the baton of life is short, but enjoy what I can while I can, was looking forward to a lovely warm summer, that's all but gone here in Scotland, maybe another year will be different, and that's how life changes 😇
Hello Cb1963....life has its many twists and turns and we experience tragedy on our journey, and my goodness you've been through some difficult and sad times and you have come out stronger and wiser. Interesting about alcohol as I was once a heavy drinker, but glad to say its been at least 14 years since I've touched it except for a glass of wine at new year, and even then leaving most of it, and even though i have many bottles of wine here i never give it a second thought. Oh gosh, what a terrible summer its been ,it seems like one long winter, just the odd day when its been warm, so much for global warming. Yes, life and circumstances changes us. I wish you well.
The weather forecast had threatened rain for this morning and I had planned to go to Swansea and to the Mumbles local nature reserve so spent the morning in Swansea city centre and had a wander round then got the bus to the Mumbles village which was congested and walked down to Bracelet Bay and then up to the nature reserve and I said I didn't care if it was raining or not I was coming out and that was the end of it and that I did!
It was an uphill trek to the nature reserve but well worth the effort to have gone!
Then we came down the hill and had our picnic lunch and it was the right decision to bring one as those places on the seafront like to rip you off as it was £3.60 for a single 99 ice cream at one of the cafes!
At the ice cream shop I had asked for a 99 and had received just the flake and saw the funny side of it rather than getting infuriated and then I explained I meant I wanted the ice cream and got the ice cream and the flake so no harm done!
I came back home about 6.15pm after a long and full day out which I really enjoyed!
Just to explain I won't be going out at every chance God sends though as that's silly!
It's near Swansea and part of the Gower which is really nice walking country!
Years ago I walked from the Swansea city centre past there and walked to Caswell Bay on the Gower which was a lovely walk but it was sunny that day!
My friends said you're not going to the Gower in the rain are you and I said yes I am and did as well and how life doesn't stop just because it's raining so decided to do the city centre in the morning and then to the Gower for a lunchtime walk and the picnic lunch at the nature reserve and then for that ice cream which was hilarious!
hello 'gettingsomewhere' Oh how i agree with your sentiments, for i know i wouldn't have got through the last few years without my little dogs, i lost one last year who really broke my heart, but I still have two little ones, they really are the greatest comfort. I wish you much joy.
Elderly Baby the cat who was 20 back in April has got me through some tough times like getting evicted last year which knocked my confidence and thankfully through time and effort my confidence has come back!
