Reminiscence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the\u00a0important tasks in later life is to<\/em> review our lives<\/em> and to<\/em> deal with\u00a0any unresolved issues<\/em>. Here are some of my on-going points for reflection (to which I will inevitably add):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the time to seek peace<\/em> with ourselves and with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a time to let go of\u00a0feelings of regret and failure<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 and not continue clinging on to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a time to let go of\u00a0hurts and resentments<\/em>\u00a0and to find the healing that enables us to let them go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a time to seek reconciliation<\/em> with others (where this is appropriate and possible), but, more importantly, to forgive others<\/em> (for what we perceive they have done to us and maybe others).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a time to<\/em>\u00a0accept<\/em>\u00a0ourselves and our life journey, the choices we have made, what we have done, and not done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a time to reflect on our deepest noble\u00a0intentions and desires<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a time for<\/em>\u00a0recalling the generosity<\/em>\u00a0(remembering the many different ways in which we have contributed to the lives of others)\u00a0and virtue<\/em>\u00a0in our lives, as this brings a sense well-being to our minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a time of coming to\u00a0a deeper understanding of ourselves<\/em>\u00a0and seeing our life as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
