Recollection of Letters (12)

 16 October 2021

Dear Sushila

It's always nice to hear your voice & know that you are well, although the news of the robbery in your house is disheartening. I hope by now you have got over your 'heart-break' of losing some of your favorite jewelry. But look at the positive side - it gives you the excuse to but new ones. New and contemporary designs perhaps! And when you wear them, you will be uplifted & feel 'new' again. So go ahead, Sushila, buy that necklace and bracelet you mentioned. Do what makes you happy!

As a wise sage once said, "We don't grow old by merely living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up our interests wrinkle the soul. Whatever our years, there is in every of our hearts the love of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite for what's next and the joy and game of life"  

So enjoy, have a small party with family and good friends. Remember, don't let the shadows of yesterday spoil the sunshine of tomorrow.

Today (16 Oct) is World Food Day and this year's theme is Safe food now for a healthy tomorrow. I pray for the poor and marginalized that none of them should go to sleep hungry; and being an animal lover, I pray too that all the stray dogs and cats in the world will be fed regularly by kind and compassionate people near them. 

Love

Sylvia
