by being a just being myself, as much as is possible……

generosity is a trait that my mother passed on to me….
I am going to make some soup and bread for my friend who recently had a brain tumor.
she is doing miracousily well but like Kevin says, she has some needs unmet and has difficulty recognizing them and asking for help….

That I am soul, was before and always will be, long after my body is gone.
A soul living in my body…

as Kevin says , play is a vital part of understanding the whole person…so I play as often as possible and with children whenever I can….recently had a day of painting with a 2 and 5 year old!
I like to think I am a” free spirit ” as a friend calls me……

there is no way to peace, peace is the way…
with mindfulness I get closer and closer to it……
peace , if it’s to be, it’s up to me……….

me to me so all can see…
kindness starts with myself, and then …….possibilities are endless

love the wind, and a gentle breeze on a beautiful day, presence of a greater source….

yes, I am retired, love those words, Kevin.
Alellulia !!!!

I would say that for me that is what counts the most……validation by someone listening

Happy Birthday! Michael

Why not, you?….. good perspective….leave it to a child to come up with it….

and above all, maintain a sense of humor, I always say!

What’s in the way, is the way, love it…

KC,
Warm blessings to you too.

I am with you Kevin, especially enjoying the arts and the last traces of summer….
nicely said, thanks!

Thanks, you too!
I am struggling so need all this encouragement and your words.
the compassion is so important and self- compassion, the clear/calm heart and open mind can be a challenge at the best of times,
striving to be present to myself and others…..

oh, I need it more today than ever, reminder to be patient and kind and accepting…..thanks to Br. David and gratefulness.
Namaste

wise , indeed !

Kevin,
So many blessings indeed….
sounds like your back is allowing you too live life fully inspired by Gracie,
Nice to hear
