 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: Your loved ones Which traits do you value most in your loved ones and in what ways can you draw strength from their actions and their traits? --------- My loved ones in my extended family live all over the world and I appreciate all their traits and positive qualities, but most of all, their soft hearts and helping hands stretched to whoever needs them. Having loved ones who are exceptionally compassionate inspires me to practice empathy and kindness in my own interactions with others. In fact, I couldn't have designed a better family, now with only cousins left, if that job would have been asked of me before I set foot on this earth. As to my closer family, now two sons to be exact, they have played a significant role is shaping me while I helped with and witnessed their facing challenges and overcoming difficulties. My older son has taught me the importance of perseverance and adaptability. Then, the younger one taught me a valuable lesson about resilience, patience, and the power of a positive attitude, while he built up a whole new life after a painful divorce. Both my sons, with their own perspectives, quirks, and preferences have broadened my horizons. Their ways of thinking so different from each other and sometimes from me, too, have helped me to view the world from many new angles. In short, I think, our dynamic interplay has created a beautiful tapestry of interconnected lives where we learn, support, and uplift one another, where vulnerabilities taught us about resilience and empathy and where our differences have broadened our perspectives, while still connecting us deeply. . |
