I haven’t felt the need to write for a while, but I’m hitting a low point at the moment.
I am losing the ‘p’ in positivity even though the weather is glorious and should give me a boost.
I seem to be picking up everyday complaints since coming off steroids – chest infection, headaches, stomach upsets etc which normally my body would deal with no problem. And at that point I will change tack!
I will think of all the good things I can beginning with the letter P. Perseverance, politeness, purposeful, precious people, plentiful, pleasing, picturesque, peaceful.
Since Easter the scriptural readings have included meetings the apostles and others have had with the risen Christ. Many of these have been while making journeys. Very often Christ wasn’t recognised until the moment had passed.
Did they lack positivity like me or were they too engrossed in their circumstances to notice – again like me? I must continually look for Christ on my journey.
Which brings me to a final word beginning with P…Paraclete… Spirit.
“Come Holy Spirit! Fill me with purpose, confidence, courage to accept your plan for me, whatever it is. Stop me being a wimp.
Ensure that I keep seeing Christ on my journey. Let me remember that he is in others; those who care for and help and offer me encouragement and support. My lacking positivity saddens and insults them.
I will make today a P day!
“Paraclete..Fill the hearts of your faithful; enkindle them in your love”.
P for Pauline

I can think of the best thing beginning with ‘P’ by a mile – Pauline.
I know it’s so hard Mum. I think there’s lots of stuff going round at the moment. Our house has coughs, sore throats etc. Coming off those steroids can’t be easy for the body to take. You’ll have much better days than this. All our love always x

Pauline you are forced to get bad days, this is a journey you never planned to take. I know you have the ability to bounce back, changes in medication make the body rebel, but it usually settled down again. Try to focus on being the truly Easter person you have always been. May God bring you peace and renewed positivity. You remain in my prayers always.
