People who write here are from the same “star dust” of me, as Palm says. So, thinking of that and of my busy time, i wonder if dear Gina and Ed are well. I hope so, yet I have not seen their posts, in these last days.
This is not because they have to write, of course, but because a common feeling grows, being here every day.

Gina! So happy to read your post! Happy for a miracle outside your home.

Dear Christina, so glad to see your icon today! I love your post, and your words “taking care of business”. They remind me brother Lawrence of the Resurrection: last year Kevin spoke about him and I was fascinated. So, your reflection helps me in my daily tasks.

Don’t worry Palm, you are in a good place here, this is a “sacred” community, as Diane always says in Gratitude Lounge. You can feel at home. You are a mother, like Antoinette, like me, and our sons are a basic part on our lives. Each of us writes his/her reflections. And our experiences often start from our sons/daughters. I always like reading your posts and see your icon, Palm.

Dear Gina I hope you are well, because I miss you. Don’t feel pressure, only my friendship.
Anna

A terroristic attack Antoinette, maybe 22 people dead, among them even children.

May you find peace, Caroline. May this peace fill your heart, kindly and softly getting into those parts that now are hopeless.

Oh dear Aine, I am without words in front of you.
Thank you for what you say.

Welcome again dear Deb, I am sorry for your pain, that is so intense….and I admire you for your strength. Noticing your absence in Gratitude Lounge and here, I asked about you, some months ago. May you feel support and comfort in this community.

For me your posts are never long, dear Ben, because your words are always meaningful.

well said Michael, I like your honest answer!

I agree with you Kevin, and when there is an opportunity to learn, sometimes I don’t take it.
Is this part of our human nature?
I believe that it is, we are not always perfect. Maybe…. I can even learn from this vulnerability, I mean from my tiredness, or my most challenging time, or my imperfection. However, I realize this learning only after the end of this experiences.

Dear Kathleen, have you read the blog by Dr Kerry Howells? I often feel overwhelmed, at work, but since I am here, things have changed, trust me. oh, it is a journey, not a quick success, and it does not end in one day, but it is worth. And you can even enjoy it.

Have a nice time Pilgrim, I believe that relax near a lake is like a balm!

You are speaking about Italy, so….I am here, dear Ursula ????.Joking apart, I am so glad for your pilgrimage, and, if you have a look into Gratitude Lounge, in my reply to your post , I speak about a poet who just said what your wise son has told you!

I am with you dear Christina, a bad cold and cough. Oh yes, we can live our spiritual journey!

I’m with you Francine, and maybe we are here at the same time!
Do you remember that attack in Egypt, during Easter time, when a lot of people was killed while praying in their churches?
People didn’t show hate, rather, they kept on their faith. True courage, True faith, I believe.

So true, Ben. I often noticed that something I didn’t like in other people was an aspect of my own nature that was causing me some problems. Shifting my attitude…..the miracle happened, that fellow could even be an “amicus”!
