Malag1 year agoMalagEverything blows through eventually! 5 Reply Cheryle1 year agoCheryleGosh, what a thought provoking question… it’s quite overcast here in Brisbane but certainly not cold. I ate some chocolate last night which I know is not good for me I seem to have done my dash with eating sugar so today I had a hammering headache and was a bit abrupt with a lady that I struggle with… (oh, I do wish I was perfectly lovely at all times to every single person) My halo certainly slipped today! The gratefulness in this… thank goodness forgiveness and mercy abound for myself ...Gosh, what a thought provoking question… it’s quite overcast here in Brisbane but certainly not cold.

The gratefulness in this… thank goodness forgiveness and mercy abound for myself and others… I am not sure what is worse… foot in mouth disease or the prideful pain of not being perfect!!! It is still so easy for me to forget the bigillion reasons I have to be grateful! And, a bit of ingratitude dull overcast weather can arise in my heart when I take offense, at very silly things, I might add! Ahhh so glad to be part of this gratefulness group that helps me to stay focussed!❤🙏🌷🌠 Read More2 Reply Hot Sauce1 year agoHot SauceIt is very cold outside tonight. For almost two years now, I have been going through a bit of a “winter of the soul,” but I also know that warmer weather inevitably follows winter. 4 Reply Amy1 year agoAmyCold and very windy here in CO. I feel that I bounce from project to project, idea to idea, and thought to thought, just like the wind right now. 3 Reply Hot Sauce1 year agoHot SauceWhere in Colorado do you live? I’m from Greeley! 1 Reply Amy1 year agoAmyGolden….right in the foothills where the wind is the WORST! We get hurricane blasts of wind at my house. 0 Reply sparrow1 year agosparrowOften the weather reflects what is in my heart, or maybe it’s the other way around.

My breasts ached with the need to nurse, and everything alive felt like an insult or a taunt . . . the sound of birdsong, the sight of flowers pushing up out of the earth were all too painful to endure. That is the strongest incident that I can connect to this question . . . it is not so true for me these days . . . my heart can sing on a rainy day, and weep on a sunny one, and the other way around. But gratitude has tempered my responses.

I am grateful to hav e the opportunity to interact with people who are so tenderly courageous just as you are Sparrow… ❤🙏✨ 1 Reply sparrow1 year agosparrowI have a sparkling, clear memory of those days, dear Cheryle, as if it was yesterday or even today… even though it was 50 years ago. But now I am healed. We all have the capacity to heal . . . ps. I don’t know how this posted twice. 1 Reply Cheryle1 year agoCheryleWarm hugs, dear Sparrow may you continue to be blessed in every small delight and every big challenge from my heart to yours ♥️🌠 0 Reply sparrow1 year agosparrowIndeed, dear Cheryle, I am blessed . . . 1 Reply Ose1 year agoOseIf considering a larger period, I would say it is all in motion inside and outside; considering the moment being, I am happy that the fog lifted!

A gift of sorts, the sun gazing cautiously and has risen slowly and timely inside my heart as well as outside. No idea so far where it will lead to, but I am grateful to follow the heart´s signals, a work in progress to be present cautiously and kindly, respecting each and everyone, including myself also, where in the fog I had sometimes almost been lost. Something is on its way and may transform inside and out as well into the direction of stabilizing, caring, balance and renewed hope to the better, God willing. For this I pray.

Thank you for sharing. 1 Reply Pollyanna Gladwell1 year agoPollyanna GladwellWhat a beautiful reflection, Sparrow. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Peace, love and joy. Pollyanna xx 2 Reply sparrow1 year agosparrowThank you, dear Pollyanna . . . sharing the journey is so very healing. 2 Reply KC1 year agoKCIt is clear and dry with a high ceiling of clouds, and the sun beaming through, for now! … 2 degrees Celsius, so very comfortable and pleasant for December. I can hear songbirds chirping. The crows are delightfully absent, for now … It is a perfect time for a walk. In my heart I am present, grateful and contented, for now … 7 Reply Don Jones1 year agoDon JonesIt is hot, humid and stormy outside. The last few early morning walks were met with fat, warm raindrops falling heavily. The weather of my heart too has been unsettled, but that is OK as it raises my awareness of warm, wet emotions from memories past that are being worked through. 7 Reply Melissa1 year agoMelissaThe sky is filled with wispy clouds and it is a little cold . It reflects my heart because California Covid-19 news is overwhelming. I don’t know how the day will unfold but I am hopeful for the the sunny weather that is supposed to come in this afternoon to warm things up. Which will cheer me up and remind me how grateful I am that I have trails to walk my new rescue puppy in the sunshine. 5 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaCool question! 3 Reply Ose1 year agoOseCool reply ! 🙂 4 Reply amacord1 year agoamacordThe sun is shining brightly and the skies are blue and cloudless. My inner mood is not so grand, I am veering towards fear and anxiety. Was it Vince Lombardi who famously said that “fatigue makes sissies of us all? I need to shake the blues and get back to hopefulness. The Covid numbers in California where I live are appalling. I don’t read the news but that negative news finds me… thanks for listening, I had to put this out there so I can get back UP! 8 Reply Peter John1 year agoPeter JohnThe weather outside is raining the hole day. My family is giving me sunshine to my heart. Let us hope that the upcomming year will bring all of us health, peace and well-beeing. 4 Reply expati1 year agoexpatiThe weather outside reflects what’s in my heart. Warm and sunny! Here in Central Mexico, we are in the dry season. I am so grateful to sit in the sun bare-chested every morning. It’s very different from the NE of the US, where I came from. 4 Reply MelaD1 year agoMelaDCurrent outside weather is sunny with a cool breeze. Reminds me that while the outside weather will flex, my inside weather, my heart, directs my being, and my mood. Today my heart feels playful and joyful so I’m going to engage life while I have the opportunity! 6 Reply Javier Visionquest1 year agoJavier VisionquestTransforming our world through the transformation of our very own hearts and minds; I’m grateful to see more and more of us realizing the connection between what goes on in the world around us and what’s happening within us. This is alchemy. 10 Reply Patricia1 year agoPatriciaStill and quiet, with a blanket of snow…. Maybe it reflects the season of lying fallow that I feel with the essential isolation of Covid. 8 Reply DeVonna1 year agoDeVonnaI love the chill in the air, here in Central Florida. This morning it is 40 degrees, and reminds me of fall in Michigan. It is sunny nearly every single day, here in the Sunshine State, and it cheers me tremendously. My heart is alive with Hope, each and every day. I know that the possibility exists, anew each morning. I am reminded that His mercies are new every morning… 9 Reply Papilio1 year agoPapilioAt 8:10 am, 26oF, blue sky and bright sunlight. Everything is still covered with snow except pavement. I love this winter morning scenery, which is serene and peaceful. Bare trees are telling me to shed excess in my life. 8 Reply Pollyanna Gladwell1 year agoPollyanna GladwellThe weather outside reminds me that despite periods of greyness and mostly non-frozen precipitation (rain!) that is typical of Southeast Ireland at this time of year – what am I saying? Most of the year! – nothing lasts forever. The sun is always shining, even when it is not visible, which it often is. There are shoots of early spring-flowering bulbs and some late roses and winter-hardy agapanthus are in bloom, so there are flashes of colour. The trees are skeletal and beautiful even withou...The weather outside reminds me that despite periods of greyness and mostly non-frozen precipitation (rain!) that is typical of Southeast Ireland at this time of year – what am I saying? Most of the year! – nothing lasts forever. The sun is always shining, even when it is not visible, which it often is. There are shoots of early spring-flowering bulbs and some late roses and winter-hardy agapanthus are in bloom, so there are flashes of colour. The trees are skeletal and beautiful even without their ornamentation of leaves, and I can see their bare essentials. The soil is being nourished and the days are getting longer. The cycle of life outside and inside my heart will continually be in flux. Fallow periods are followed by growth and harvest. I don’t know the Bible very well, but it’s stated so beautifully and poetically in Ecclesiastes and in the song “Turn! Turn! Turn!” Be flexible! Be loving! Be grateful!
