I have put every thing aside to enjoy my family and friends. I hope you can do the same. I hope some of you have reached out to someone. Family does not have to be blood relatives. Not all families have a healthy relationship. If you have been beaten, degraded and treated badly, it may be time to re-examine your life and choices. No one deserves to be treated badly by anyone else. Please remember, if this is happening to you that it is not your fault. Find help. Abusers blame the person who they are treating badly.
Try to spend some time with someone who may need you. In Canada, I often hear from people who live here from other countries that our elderly are abandoned in their senior homes. I do not know if that is true. It may be a different life style. Here it is common for both women and men to have careers and hopefully they are making time for their elderly parents. If you are elderly and are being abused, remember that there is protection for you. Pick up the phone. Nursing homes have regulations and no elderly person is to be treated badly. This is extended to their own children and relatives. You have lived a long time and deserve to be treated fairly. Your money is your own. Remember that.
Here in Toronto, there was a lot of support for the people who needed a bit of help. This is what makes a city great, when people come together to help by serving food, donating toys and offering support.
Today, why not take a look up at the sky and try to figure out where you belong in all this. Tonight as you look at the stars and moon, remember how vast the universe is. Where is your place in it all? What do you think?
