Gratefulness
It is not joy that makes us grateful; It is gratitude that makes us joyful.
Brother David Steindl- Rast
When I can share something good.
I think I get strength out of myself. I try to see difficult things or problems as a challenge that can be overcome. Then I use my inner strength, which probably also has to do with confidence.
Today I am learning a new song on the flute. “Via Dolorosa”.
About two months ago I gave a lift to a student from Iran. We had a very nice conversation in the car. At parting she told me that her hobby is cooking, and she wanted to cook for me. She did indeed prepare a delicious meal for me. And now….she’s teaching me cooking. I’ve already had the first lesson. We spent hours in the kitchen preparing the food with great care and attention.

About two months ago I gave a lift to a student from Iran. We had a very nice conversation in the car. At parting she told me that her hobby is cooking, and she wanted to cook for me. She did indeed prepare a delicious meal for me. And now….she’s teaching me cooking. I’ve already had the first lesson. We spent hours in the kitchen preparing the food with great care and attention. Yesterday we went shopping together for the Sunday cooking class. She likes to talk about the Persian poet Hafiz, also one of my favorites and like to speak about spiritual matters. Cooking, talking and eating together is a blessing.🍀
This morning I answered the daily questions, but I felt there was quite a bit of “blues” in my answer. Then I just removed it. But my need to be connected with you today is there. I would like to share this globe with you. Our beautiful mother earth that we all share with each other and that we all love so much.🤗💞
You.
My feelings help me remember that I exist. Mourning, sadness, longing, pain of letting go, enormous love that burns in my heart. I believe this has been my mood for the past few days. I know I will soon be in a good mood again. And then other feelings play a role, such as joy, love, seeing beauty, experiencing harmony.
I’ve had this sort of mantra stuck in my head for a while now. It says, “Have patience and faith”. I listen to this voice that is within me. For the world, I also hope that no one loses their faith for a good life. That we all can live with a heart that knows peace. ❤
I shall indeed show her this website, Michele 👍🤗💞
