Gitanjali 35
Rabindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Gitanjali 35
Rabindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—
Into that heaven of freedom, let my country awake.
When we come to understand that our bodies are the reflection of the earth in the same sense that our minds are synonymous to the “world” we inhabit, we will take responsibility for both and heal the whole.
I am opening my heart and mind to accept this day, and to believe for tomorrow, and to extend more of myself for the care and comfort of others..no matter who.
I’m am reminding myself to choose love over fear/judgement/anger so I can fill myself with that good energy that can radiate from me to any place or being I come into contact with.
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.
With hope and intention: to be more kind and compassionate to the world in this new year – tread lightly, use resources more carefully, share more generously….
as the place of possibilities and opportunities that it truly is. putting out grateful energy, love, how can I serve energy, and working 2gether is greater than being divided resolve.
I am treating the world with deep gratitude and appreciation.
I want to say a heartfelt thank-you to everyone on The Gratefulness Team, all who are connected with this site and all who share their reflections and visit this site. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! God bless you all.????
So far I have treated the world today as a place to walk my dog. But my dog thinks this is not a good day for any length of walk as it is raining incessantly. So the world today is mostly confined to my livingroom and some cuddling with dog and reading and writing at the computer. At times I am conscious of my gratitude. My dog gives out a big snore as I write this, I take that as a sign of approval.
Ahorro agua, reciclo, saco a mis perros, participo, sonrio a las personas
I am showing up with Gratitude, With Love. With Courage & With Faith.
And I am giving others the space to to give themselves permission to do the same..

I am pausing often reflecting on what is going around me and within me. This alone brings out the best in me I’ve noticed.
With kindness, compassion, humor, and tolerance.
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 am trying to understand others more than everyone understanding me. I am respecting nature and staying indoors today.
Your response calls to mind the prayer of St. Francis. Thank you for the inspiration to return to it. Have a beautiful day.
With hope and intention: to be more kind and compassionate to the world in this new year – tread lightly, use resources more carefully, share more generously….
Softly with a minimum of words.

I second that sentiment!
