General Discussion / Blessings/Pray/Advice during these seemingly 'troubled' times in TNT....
« on: December 25, 2008, 01:18:21 PM »
As many take the time to celebrate this special time of the year, I know there are some who are also afflicted by various degrees of 'loss.' To those folks, I wish to offer a special pray and good wish for the strength and faith to move on despite the many afflictions.
Different people do have varying degrees of tolerance, resilience and adaptability. Even though, I have endured the cold climes for many years, at this time, I am looking forward to a retirement back home. This place will never be 'home' no matter all the blessings. There is a physical comfort, safety. and comfort but there is also a psychological detachment that is stronger than what is.
Reading the latest news in TNT does not do a lot to comfort one who is looking southward. The rash of recent home invasions, robberies and callousness for human life are major deterrents yet I am comforted by those expatriates from foreign European lands who have chosen to reside in Trinidad. How are they doing it?
As I plan for this retirement, it is with hope faith and a greater love for TN that compels me to believe that home could still be a 'choice' maybe for at least six months of the year.
A special blessing to all who are afflicted with loss at this time of the year.
For those who are most fortunate, what advice would you convey to someone for a safe , healthy and prosperous existence in TNT?
