Is anyone in the space taking the six week wake up grateful course which is being facilitated by Kristi Nelson? It started this week but would not be too late to sign up for now. It starts off with a zoom call on Thursday for the next five weeks covering the five principles spelled out in her book for grateful living. And then there’s a lot of practices to do during the week and sharing with others for in the chorus. I think there’s about 350 or so taking a course now from 23 different co...

This morning I will be in to zoom calls, the first of which is a prayer group at my church that meets at 8:30 and read scriptures and pray together. Following that there’s an adult study group reading and commenting on one of Anne Lamott’s books, Dusk, Night and .Dawn. Bothe of these gatherings will be very engaging.
The message today about laughter is just what I needed. The times when I have had a really good laugh there has been so much freedom, and then that freedom I said so grateful us about life. Thank you Frida.
What helps me deal with life as it comes both are pleasant and the not so pleasant is the knowledge that there is a logic a certain kind of perfection to everything. And that I can learn from everything.There are lessons to be learned at every stage.
Paying attention. Noticing the idiosyncratic, whether that’s something of the material world or in a person. Non+ordinary phenomenon catch my attention.
I’m in Brooklyn New York now visiting my son, daughter-in-law and grandson whose name is Claude. I spent the day yesterday with Claude and we did a lot of reading. I should say he did the reading, and it’s quite amazing how good he reads as a five year old. We had bought him for his birthday a series of books. Allred Hi Lo.

They are formatted like a comic book so they are very engaging with a text this fairly challenging. I was just amazed at how far he has come. I also was quite amazed at his ability to entertain himself through drawing pictures, and playing with some of his many toys.
I’m glad to say I will be visiting my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson who live in Brooklyn this coming week. This is the first time in over two years that I’ve seen them apart from our zoom calls.
On Earth Day as I had promised myself when I went for my walk I started to bless everything natural that I could see. The Live Oak streaming with Spanish moss, the tall magnolia trees with her glossy leaves, miles of open the fairway on the golf course that’s not being used which really is open space Park for us. My attention wavered several times and returned making me aware of how much I take for granted. But I did feel the earth under my feet I was glad it was something that has always e...

Being in the presence of something that evokes reverence is both wonderful and awe inspiring. There’s a release from any sense oh smallness an ego contraction as our heart and mind expand into a bigger perhaps infinite space.
Today being Earth Day, When I go outside for my daily walk I will remember to bless everything natural insight and in so doing remind myself how grateful I am for this planet we live on.
Like many of you have said my love has made a difference to so many people, especially family, friends, pets and those many I have served in one way or another. What perhaps the biggest difference it has made it to my cell, because open heartBrings great happiness and peace into my life.
If you haven’t done so already I urge you to watch the video of Kristi Nelson which is on the homepage. I am reading her book and was really glad to see her person.
I had a troubled youth which led to have a very cute expectations in young adulthood. And then came a spiritual renewal which was a real beginning of my life. So far everything has surpassed my expectations.
Thanks Diane.
