Thank Sean It’s Friday - Happy birthday to me

Well, today is my birthday.  Corks will be popping, wonderful food will be brought to the table and a good time will be had by all, well by me and Rie anyway.  I love my birthday.  We are working our way around Britain staying at the Hotel Du Vin in various locations.  They are amazing, all in converted buildings like prisons and warehouses, with fabulous decoration and design, wonderful food and a special range of wines.

Every year I cannot believe that I am another year older; I have the wonderful experience that I feel no different now to how I did twenty years ago or thirty years ago, come to that.  I wonder when it is that we are supposed to feel our age or is that a myth?  Or perhaps it is just the result of expectation.  Or it is the Law of Attraction in action: if you expect to get old, then you do.

Seeing as this is the month of love, I would like to share some of my sad love, which is actually good.  Now if you read my books, you will know that I see the love in connected relationships as a piece of elastic which, although it may be stretched at times, may never snap.  The power of the elastic is that it always draws you back together. In the dance of love, a couple will connect their emotional elastic to each other.  Every day when they each go off to attend to their lives, do their work or whatever, the elastic of love pulls them back together at the end of the day, when they come back together.

If the love elastic is not attended to, it may become brittle and perish or snap.  Or if the couple begin to take each other for granted so that there is no tension in the elastic to pull them back together, the energy can become lost in complacency that often leads to divorce or separation. Some elastic will stretch a very long way and it may be that a close friend goes to live on the other side of the world, yet the relationship is maintained because the pull of the elastic is very strong.  Some elastic will last over time.  So that you might meet someone that you have not seen for years yet the power of love is so strongly there that it feels as though you have never been apart.

And some elastic is so very strong that it will last beyond life into death and remain just as powerfully vibrant as it was when the person was alive.  Today, I want to remember three people who were very dear to me and today I feel the pull of the love elastic just as if they were here right now.

The first is my son, Winston, who died twenty-six years ago today.  A short but powerful relationship that brings with it a revisitation of all the events of that forty-eight hours as though they were happening here right now. Next is Kate, a wonderful nurse manager and psychological counsellor of children services in North Wales.  We worked together for a few years.  She contracted breast cancer and after all the possible treatments, it became terminal.  I visited her in oncology on the Sunday as the drivers were being put up and on the Wednesday, my birthday, she died. Then there is Lynne; she was also a nurse manager on Merseyside.  She was one of six sisters, all of whom were lovely people.  Although Lynne did not die on my birthday, she is there in my mind when I think about death.

Now, each of these people have a powerful piece of love elastic from me to them and here I want to share the positive love that is in every loss.  When someone is lost to us through death, divorce, retirement and so on, we have a choice.  We can go downwards into a dark space and mourn a loss.  Or we can move upwards into the light and celebrate a life.  We either focus on the good or the bad. So today, I will celebrate my birthday with my lovely Rie and, while I bathe in the warmth of her love, I will allow the positive feelings of my good memories of Winston, Kate and Lynne to flow through me and be a part of my day.  For me, their presence will enhance the love of my day alongside the presents that I assume will shortly be arriving.

Love to you all.
