The Journey

Some journeys we never want to end

Those happy days spent with loved ones

The joy of watching our children grow

The lives of those we lost

The life we know and accept will end

One more day to say what we never said

author: Patrick Conlan

Life is a journey filled with moments we hold dear, and some of these moments are so precious that we wish they could last forever. Whether it's the lives of those we've lost, happy days with loved ones, or watching our children grow, these are experiences that shape our hearts and minds, leaving a lasting imprint on our souls.

The people we have lost remain alive in our memories and hearts. Their presence is felt in the stories we tell, the lessons they taught us, and the love they shared. Though their journey may have ended, the impact they had on our lives continues to guide us. Cherishing these memories keeps their spirit alive and allows us to honor their legacy.

There are days when laughter fills the air, and joy seems to linger with every moment. Time spent with family and friends is a treasure that cannot be measured. These are the days we recount with fondness, longing for just one more moment of connection, love, and shared happiness. Embracing these memories can provide comfort and remind us of the power of human connection.

Children grow in the blink of an eye, transforming from curious toddlers to independent adults. Each milestone they achieve is a testament to their growth and potential. Watching them navigate the world brings pride and joy, but also a bittersweet awareness that these moments are fleeting. As parents and caregivers, we hold onto these memories, hoping to savor every stage of their journey.

Life is a beautiful, yet transient experience. We come to accept that every beginning has an end. Yet, in this acceptance, there is a profound appreciation for the life we lead. Each day offers an opportunity to live fully and to create memories that will be cherished by those we leave behind.

One More Day

If given the chance for one more day, what would you say? It is a reminder to express gratitude, love, and forgiveness. To say the words that linger in our hearts but often go unspoken. Seize the opportunity to connect, mend, and cherish those around you, making every moment count.

In the end, while some journeys may not last forever, their essence lives on in the love, memories, and stories we carry forward. These journeys remind us of the beauty of life and the importance of cherishing every moment we have.

Celtic Goddess Flidais

Flidais is a fascinating figure in Irish mythology, renowned for her many roles and abilities as a goddess. As a Mother Earth figure, she is associated with abundance and fertility, particularly through her strong connection to milk and milking. During the Cattle Raid of Cooley, her magical herd of cattle was able to provide milk for an entire army every seven days, a testament to her power.

Ouija Board

The exact origin of the Ouija board is unknown. Objects similar to the Ouija board date as far back as 551 Bce to Ancient China where spirit boards were commonplace items used to communicate with the dead.

Talking boards also have connections to Ancient Rome where two people used the Ouija board to predict the successor to the king.
