Yes, I know, I'm late again!. Apologies.

It's been one hell of a week for the world, hasn't it? While I am not profoundly grieved nor have I shed tears over the death of Princess Diana, and more recently, Mother Theresa, I do still feel sorrow. If anything, the world is less colorful at their passing, and it's our loss. May they rest in peace, and may the angels watch over their loved ones.

But life goes on.

If anything, this week has reminded me of that. Life does go on. It waits for no one, and it is never controlled by any man (or woman!). One moment we are here, the next we are not. One moment there is joy, the next there is pain.

I will admit that I have this tendency to want to control it; rather, control my life. I'm not very fond of change. Oh, I'm not an old foggie set in my ways! (Though some people think otherwise.) But there are things of which I wish I could keep from changing. Stability is not a bad thing; that's something I haven't changed my mind about.. There are somet things we need to be relatively (not 100%) sure about. But I've also learned that stagnation leads no where. Changes is a risk.. and the risks is the only way for better things. To live is to risk.

Life moves in one whole circle. This age is in trouble; we have so much pain and suffering.. literally and figuratively. But if you look closely, the balance is still there, if only it's harder to find now. There is still hope.. There are still good things out there. And that knowledge is one of the things I'm sure about. You can't predict what tomorrow will bring, and here's my cue to I go into a cliche: so treasure every moment you have. Treasure the people who love you, and in effect, gives one hope.
