This week I panicked. I was overwhelmed and thought I couldn’t make it through another down in the blue in my life. Sounds depressing and I’m certain you prefer some cheerful POST in the midst of what seems like our cloud-filled winter…. Bear with me my friends. 🐕😎

Wednesday night. I had just watched an episode, 🤔 actually 2 episodes of Suits 😉 to relax. I could not escape the blues. Despite my efforts to climb back up, the health issues of the past few weeks had come to anchor me down. I needed a ray of sunshine.

I know it sounds corny, but corny is good sometimes. I looked into my back pocket and looked at what I always store there: openness, strength and calm.

I looked back at other challenging moments, moments much more challenging than I have experienced this past week and realized, based on my record, I had a very good chance of getting through this. That my nurturing of openness (trust and patience), strength, and calm had gotten me through.

And so, if you ever have the blues, and I think it is safe to say most of us have, trust that there will be a moment soon when the sun will pierce through the clouds and send you a ray of sunshine.

Sometimes, we get more than a ray of sunshine. We get a jackpot! We get a rainbow to colour our world once again. I am happy to report that I got a jackpot on Thursday evening…

On a final note,

Some of you have asked me how my friend who had surgery last week is doing. I am very happy to say that she is doing very well. The surgery was a great success. She has a rainbow in her back pocket once again holding her and letting her know that all will be well.

Wishing you sunshine and rainbows,
Jocelyne and Dr. Jake

Namaste!
