Thoughts that complicate what is simple. Thoughts that make work of what can be play. Thoughts that roll along deeply-worn ruts. Thoughts of not-enoughness. Thoughts of not belonging. So so many thoughts. And even my thoughts about thoughts — too much pondering WHY do I think this or that (limiting) way? Maybe ‘all thoughts’ as Ose writes below. Turn off the thought-faucet! And as Kevin shares, just Be. Here. Now.

Starting with wonderment. I let the huge yellow moon shining in my window draw me out of bed and into the yard at 5am. Just in time to see it slowly sink behind a hill to the west. Such a feeling of smallness in me standing below the stars my feet on the frozen ground watching our planet rotate.

I watched the sun rise this morning. All wrapped up and breathing the fresh winter air. YES will be my mantra for today. Thank you for this question.

Trust myself. Trust life. Be spontaneous.

Oddly, I do not have an answer for today. But in the spirit of the Word for the Day, I can say that I have pondered the question in good company (yours). Thank you.

I would like to learn to love myself genuinely. Yes, Bree, me too. Thank you and happy new year.

Deep wisdom shared, thank you.

Your response calls to mind the prayer of St. Francis. Thank you for the inspiration to return to it. Have a beautiful day.

Yes, indeed, let all countries awake!

HAPPY new year to YOU 🙂
