Singing, being in nature, prayer meditation, working with the poor in any capacity.

For me the answer is always to listen. Sometimes it’s listening in silence and sometimes it’s allowing others who are experiencing anxiety to vocalize their fears. As Brother David says, when you get to the point where you can trust life you can defeat fear.

Propelled by Joy we open ourselves to all that life has to offer. It restores hope and trust that we are right were His wants us to be.

I heard an anonymous quote ones summer priest during the homily, harboring anger and resentment is like you drinking the poison and expecting the other person to die. I have done my best to live that quote all of my life. The sooner we forgive , the sooner we return our own state of joy

I underestimate the true value of face and Trust. When I put all things in God’s hands accept my circumstances his will for me in my life at this time, I find the true joy and peace that one can attain in this world.

In one of the Grateful living exersizes, there is the suggestion of reviewing your day before going to sleep. Thinking not just about our gratefulness, trying to see things through new eyes but also about how I listened for God’s voice through other people that day. I am now lucky to still have my wife of 35 years and we do it together. You’ve also go to be willing to admit your faults and how to be a better person the next time.

Listen with intentionality when people are talking to you and find out what you can do for someone else.

It seems that whenever the stars are the darkest I pray with the purest 7/10. My stars are my feast and the continuing aspiration God, in life and absolute surrender to the divine presence with patience and love.

Accepting life for what it is, people for who they are and not thinking I can change. There are challenges in my life right now I am having a hard time willfully accepting. Being patient with myself and with other people is the beginning of finding Joy

I pray for strength and fortitude. I am trying hard too accept my circumstance and not run from them.

By taking full responsibilities I can not blame others for my own decision, regardless of how it may have been influenced. It forces me to reflect on that decision and to see how my choices have impacted me, my loved ones and anyone, even strangers are affected by it.

I can be more disciplined to make sure I take the time in the morning and the evening reflect on the many things that I have in my life to be grateful for. I can also use to stop, look, go method of gratitude through the course of the day she keeps me ever aware of my gratitude practice

I agree with Antoinette. It’s the people whose lives and words show how much they care and live for other people. It’s all about ove.

I have been so fortunate to be in love with the same person for the last 35 years. That blessing has been complemented by there too lovely Sons new always, they love us. Yesterday I had the present surprise of sensing the emotion which was as much hope as it was love of someone that I came across that I was helping. It was a great feeling.

Thanks to this sight I too am all Cait up on thanking the people I need to. I would like to thank Kevin for reminding me to express my gratitude to the team that makes this resource available to so manyb people. May God bless you all.

Forgiveness is something that I am generally pretty good at. I can’t think of anyone have not opened my heart to. However, there is a group of people I have strong disagreements with both in thier spoken words and actions. By opening my mind and taking the time to listen to them maybe I can be more loving and compassionate towards them

My wife and my God for both live me on spite of my faults. Every day I see another area of my life that I simply could not have survived or succeeded had it not been for thier involvement.

My childhood was rather turbulent but I grew up in the country where I gained a great appreciation for being in nature in moments of quiet solitude. Adversity has taught me determination fortitude and to trust God.
