Without Guilt! Without Excuses!


NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

(December 27, 2018)
THE PROMISES OF CHRISTMAS!
                               ¨The Greatest Love of All¨ (popular song)
After expecting a promised Christmas conversion of mankind most of my life, I found a major breakthrough today!
It wasn´t me!  Of course I had nothing to do with it!  It was my daughter.  She had been supporting her feelings and pressures lately and had been letting off a little steam, but today, symbolically during Christmas time, she blew up and made an exceptional speech.  She had a very firm and serious talk with her father, and let him know things had to change!  As the daughter, she has an important position and she told him she could not tolerate his aggressive attitudes anymore, specifically towards her mother (me).  You will have to imagine the details of this and the steps that lead up to this (He has had many pressures and problems lately, family illnesses and such), but what is necessary to know is that there is a major pivoting point gyrating towards better treatment and reconciliations within the whirlwinds of disasters.  I could have prayed, fussed and complained, done anything all to little avail, yet it only took a few magic words from the indicated person to turn things around!
My resolution for 2019 is to facilitate the process, to recognize my own debilities, errors and emissions (which I also have), and while I don´t allow mistreatment, I need to help contribute to solutions, not make more problems or aggressions.  And to keep believing that through love, comprehensions and diplomacy we can make it happen! And at the same time ¨Let it be¨!  ¨IT¨!!!  ¨THE GREATEST LOVE¨!!!
The little girls, the small children are the best experts!  Older people get set in their ways, while youth and the young at heart hold much promise.  We must hear their laughter!  We must extract laughter from them!  We must listen to them!
Despite all of our faults and also because of our good points, we brought our daughter up with love, much love.  Now she is an adult with a great capacity to help reconcile difficult matters for all of us in our circle of family and friends.  What a Blessing!
The big question these days for many and I believe the root of society´s problems is ¨What do women expect from men¨?
Considering this, it seems reasonable to expect that a good, respectful, loving treatment should be made by all-each unto another.  Just as a person treats well another, so they should be treated well.
Actually, we have been praying and working towards a better way of life for a long, long time (at least I have turned my head inside out over this matter!  Happily, now I want to announce a major breakthrough and opening of a door of Faith! 
May 2019 be a year of Blessings!  2020 a year of preparation for a celebration and 2021 (as you know) is the year to celebrate 100 years of the creation of the LEGION OF MARY!!!  You should know that I am busy preparing songs to sing to celebrate in spite of all the problems that must be faced and cannot be ignored!
                                      Animo!  Blessings to you!  Go for it!  Let it Be!
