Thanks Carissa, this is just what I need to know this morning. My family and also good friends are dealing with so many ‘surprises’ this month, both financial and health-related, that I truly need to take each day in my stride and be grateful for all the abundance and moments of joy I can recognise – and help to create! I am seeing that affection and kindness are what gets ALL of us through these times. Thanks and have a good day.
I know that I am constantly growing. With each new day and each new experience and conversation and interaction, I know that it will help shape my future in some way, big or small. So i walk into each new situation with a smile on my face ready to have a grand old time and live to experience.
I know for sure that I have to start small. I have to be grateful for the buds on the trees, for the sound of birds chirping, for the way my puppy looks trustingly into my eyes, etc. I know I need to build on those small sights, sounds, and actions to recover and become the person God wants me to be.
I know that today’s a gift. That even though I can no longer do many things I love to do, my focus needs to be on showing compassion for myself and others in every way that I can. That it is important to remember to smile.
I know for sure that we’re the ones who understand ourselves the best. Ultimately, it’s “You help you.” People can give us advice and suggestions. We’re the ones who decide what to do with our lives.
There have been so many useful and funny responses so far. It’s great to read all of yours. For me, I know for sure that I’ll never stop learning, both actively and inactively, because life always gives me lessons.
Totally agree, my Ngoc. We’ll always be learning one way or another until we die. As we go through life, our perspective shifts in different times and positions.
I know for sure that I have suddenly and literally lost my voice. Not something that has happened in years. The sound is rather close to that of a barking dog. Good grief!! I will not be singing today!
Blessed day, my friends!

Moment gone – here you are!
“I am”, that’s all
That I do not know what each day will be filled with so I should take every moment in stride and be open to what life brings me

Each day is a new opportunity to grow and love.
Life is better with a Kelpie dog.
I know for sure that I know nothing.
Dolores, totally agree. We don’t know as much as we think we know.

Andrea, well said. What we do today shapes us for who we are tomorrow just like from yesterday to today.
That the universe is me !

I know that kindness is the true
measure of a person.
This makes me think of a Cinderella quote I love-> ‘Be kind, have courage and always believe in a little magic.’
Love this!

There is constant movement.
One thing I can count on is change.
That at some point I will die.
I am a different person than I was ……even yesterday.

this is awesome

Maybe gargle with salt water or a couple of Ricola original herb throat lozenges might help Pilgrim.
Pilgrim, try humming OM. Sending a big hug your way.
I will give that a try, Carol. Thank you!
