I read the question and immediately started singing this song from Godspell. Apparently it’s an answer from my subconscious😊. Growing older day by day with honor.

Day by day
Day by day
Oh dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see Thee more clearly
Love Thee more dearly
Follow Thee more nearly
Day by day.

Some of my friends make me feel like I’m on a first-class life journey with them. They are honest, and loving. I like to give that feeling in return. It’s not an answer to the question, but an expression of how great friendship can feel.

Today we have beautiful weather in the Netherlands. This morning I saw the sun rise again. That moment always fills me with gratitude. Back home I enjoy a cup of coffee and feel very relaxed. I then am very much looking forward to the day with a feeling of gratitude. Today will be a day with lots of music with friends. Yes, right now things are going really well and I feel grateful. I know that there is also a sad moment every day and that’s good too. All is well.

Do I need help I wonder? I often find it impressive how others follow their life path. I can look at that with respect and admiration. Everyone has their own path, their own stumbling blocks, mistakes, good deeds. Who am I to judge and to disrespect.

For me, by feeling-based prayer. Not, “Give me courage”, but, “I’m brave, I can handle the problems”. Then actually try to experience that feeling. And also thank God for all the beautiful qualities that are in me and I can appeal to, no matter how difficult it is sometimes. It is there.

Trees are beautiful, give shade, let the seasons live with color, hospitable to the birds, some bear fruit, they wave and rustle in the wind, they are very nice to lean against, and they are oh so important to existence on Mother Earth.🌳🙏

Too many people to mention. I’m going to close my eyes for a moment and tell about the first person who comes to me in my mind……. And here she is…… 😍Julie Andrews with the song “I have confidence” in the film the Sound of Music.💖

I find this a difficult question to understand. Maybe because this question is not in my language.
My body is mortal, my soul is not. I am grateful that I can be an instrument for my soul that has begun this earthly journey. I am very happy when my soul can go home again.

Passion.

Last saturday my Persian friend, a young student, came over to cook with me again. We made a traditional Persian soup. It was a lot of work (we spent hours in the kitchen), but it was fun, and the soup was very tasty.
I have a music rehearsal this morning. I can share the recipe with my music friends during the break.

During a hike in the mountains in Italy, my husband and I could choose between trespassing or walking around for a few hours. We chose trespassing and got dogs after us 😱. So scary. At the very last moment we were able to climb over a fence. Huge gratitude that we made it. We had a lot of adrenaline. We never crossed trespassing again.

Seeing the sun rise every day at my favorite place, 10 minutes walk from my house, gives me a beaming smile.
I placed a picture of my favorite place in the gratitude-lounge.🌞

For once, I answer the question of the day over here because I want the show a picture.
Seeing the sun rise every day at my favorite place, 10 minutes walk from my house, gives me a radiant smile and also happy tears. I can feel the beauty 🌞

Then I should first feel like I could lose faith. That feeling of losing faith has never occurred to me.

A beautiful homage, Hermann-josef. 💕

It feels good that you are sharing my answer, Mica.😊😘

Oh Barb, how nice that we made the same soup last weekend. The soup is indeed delicious, and to the eyes the soup has a beautiful green color. In the Netherlands we always say “the eyes want something too”. One of my wooden spoons has taken over the color and is now a permanently radiant green.😅🌷

This is breathtaking, Kevin. How lucky for you to live so close to the sea. I also think it’s so special the sky has been different every day for as long as the world has existed. We’re going to see a lot more beautiful skies.😎🤗

Dear ose,
Here’s how I experience humanity.

We are all children of God. God is love, so we are love. There are of course a lot of egos who don’t know or feel that unfortunately, but egos are fleeting and love is eternal. I see that light is stronger than the dark. I know that Love can not die.
Love to you from Christine 💞
