I’m grateful for this beautiful winter White wonderland I woke up to! Nature takes my breath away and leaves me in a state of awe! I’m so grateful that I have eyes to see and I’m blessed in each and every way. 3 Reply Sheila6 years agoSheilaAntoinette, how beautiful that is!!! Thank-you!

That is where everyone is. 5 Reply Ian6 years agoIanThis moment is offering me sweet, quiet, solitude. There is a heavy fog outside this morning that muffles the sound of the busy city. I’m warm and cozy in my bedroom “nest” and my heart is full of gentle joy. 5 Reply John Turner6 years agoJohn TurnerOPPORTUNITY–of several different (but related) kinds: peace, honesty, serenity, and most of all this moment is offering the opportunity for gratitude. 4 Reply Kathy6 years agoKathyQuietness. Observation. Watching a squirrel climb a tree while it is snowing. One of my cats trying to cuddle with me while I type which is very unusual. Watching her watch the world outside the window. So innocent. So mischievous. 4 Reply Lulu Flanagan6 years agoLulu FlanaganThis snowy December Saturday morning is reminded me of the quiet Beauty of a north woods experience. 5 Reply Deb6 years agoDebAs I sit in my chair, this moment is offering me an unclouded sky with the sun shining upon me, the wind blowing and I am grateful. 6 Reply grateful sea6 years agograteful seaHow lovely, Deb.

An opportunity to introspect on the deep Truth within to-day’s, ‘Word of the Day’.“ “As long as we’re rejecting ourselves and causing harm to our bodies and minds, there’s no point in talking about loving and accepting others.” THICH NHAT HANH And to further this introspection……… I will also connect it with the tradition of the Christian celebration of Christ’s birth. Yes with all the symbols of lite candles and coloured lights and Angels everywhere, these do mean much, much more that simply surface decoration, they can promote deep healing, something very needed at this time. Here is an exercise this puts those symbols to work and effect what Thich Nhat Hanh is pointing to and it will activate deep healing and then Loving others will be effective too. This is an exercise that Joshua Immanuel the Christ, our beloved one, had given in Greek and in Aramaic. We shall use the English language. Relax completely. Start: “The body is yours, not you. The holy Archangels and the Holy Spirit are sustaining it now. And they give you the right to use it as your own. It is your own: It is the temple of God -of God and of your Being-Self. Make this temple of God to have congregations of angelic elementals. Take away from this temple all human demons as evil elementals: jealousy, evil behavior, weaknesses, unbridled desires and emotions. Keep as congregation in this temple, in your body, human angels, good elementals. Create only good elementals in the light of love. In every temple there is a Holy of Holies. Make your heart the Holy of Holies of God. In the Holy of Holies there is also the altar. Make it in your heart. On the altar is burning the inextinguishable Life Light. The holy Archangels, they lit it in your heart. You are living -it is the pulse of life. Now we will light another wick in that lamp –your personality’s love for God and for all human beings around you. Live with these two flames of light in your lamp on the altar of your heart -love God and love all human beings. Don’t allow that flame to flicker -keep it a perfect light.

Today in the northeast we’ll have our first snow of the season. Anywhere from 1 to 6 inches is predicted. I’m a little sad: won’t be able to go to my 12-step meeting and lunch with my friend. May be “stuck” in the house all day; but I have three movies on DVD, two writing projects to work on, the radio (which I love,) and then there’s always Christmas music!
