Daily Question, October 23

What is bringing my life meaning right now?

  • EJP

    My amazing grandchildren!!

    Feeling in touch with the cycle of nature. Autumn is such a beautiful season and brings the birds back to my garden where they know there will be food for them. And, of course, my friends and family, who I know are always there for me. And the special joy that comes with watching my two little granddaughters growing and developing. Such great blessings!

    An experience that I had yesterday. I went to my home town to have a coffee and catch up with friends. On my way there I stopped off at the local cemetery to visit my family’s graves site. When I arrived at the cafe I reached into my pocket for my drivers licence that I need as well as proof of vaccination when I realized that it was missing. I searched everywhere but could not find it. After our coffee one of my friends and I decided to walk through the town . As part of Remembrance Day, the ...

    An experience that I had yesterday. I went to my home town to have a coffee and catch up with friends. On my way there I stopped off at the local cemetery to visit my family’s graves site. When I arrived at the cafe I reached into my pocket for my drivers licence that I need as well as proof of vaccination when I realized that it was missing. I searched everywhere but could not find it. After our coffee one of my friends and I decided to walk through the town . As part of Remembrance Day, the town has hung banners of all the military veterans who came from there my friend pointed out a banner of my father in front of the town hall. He took a photo of me standing in front of it. After our walk, I knew that I had to return home., but something pulled me back to visit the family grave site again. When I pulled up to park nearby I noticed something glistening in the sun lying on top of the autumn leaves on the ground. It was my drivers license! Somehow, I had been pulled back.. coincidence? I don’t know.. but it really made me think that something, or someone beyond influenced me..

    As my parents journey towards the ends of their lives, the meaning of my own intensifies. As I spend time in between visiting them this week with my son, my daughter and her sons, and see younger lives evolving and blossoming, a further perspective is added to the meaning of my own. Life is a wondrous thing ❤️️

      It is, Sandra. I wish I had asked my parents more about their parents and what they remembered of their grandparents. You have the opportunity now to ask yours, if you wish to. 🙂

    The love I share with my husband, my yoga practice, and my new role at work. I am blessed in so many ways and woke up thinking what a beautiful life this is 💜

    My faith, which is my joy. 🙌 “For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.”Love to all on this new day of glory. Autumn has finally arrived! Woodsmoke wafts through the air, the leaves crunch as I walk and swirl like ballerinas with the slightest breeze. The air is cool and crisp with a robin-egg blue sky above. Mother Earth is showing off today. Blessings to all! 🍁🍂🥀

    Having been on a long journey I am finally coming home today. It would be hard to overstate how I feel about that. The fact that I have a home I love and have missed, and that I have had the good fortune to have work again (which brought about the travel) all bring to a close my personal chapter in our collective struggle to some large extent. And more powerful perhaps is the wonder at my own resilience.

    My family and my faith are always at the top of what brings my life meaning, followed by being on our near the ocean, and, with my rowing team (in fact, headed to the harbor in an hour from now to set up the boat), and capturing slices of the aforementioned with photography.

      Kevin, you often have written through the years about your rowing team. I have never known anyone on one, so am finally going to look up rowing teams on google and see what all this is about….it sounds like a wonderful part of your life. Thanks for sharing it.

        Hello Mary Pat, I am not sure where you are located in terms of nearness to water, be it rivers, lakes or oceans, but rowing clubs are located all over the world. And there's different kinds of clubs rowing all kinds of different styles of boats depending on the types of water and sizes of the boats. We row whaleboats, which are 28 feet long, six foot beam, with five rowers and one boat steerer(coxswain). There are teams combined of men and women (like ours) or gender specific, oftentimes withi...

        Hello Mary Pat, I am not sure where you are located in terms of nearness to water, be it rivers, lakes or oceans, but rowing clubs are located all over the world. And there’s different kinds of clubs rowing all kinds of different styles of boats depending on the types of water and sizes of the boats. We row whaleboats, which are 28 feet long, six foot beam, with five rowers and one boat steerer(coxswain). There are teams combined of men and women (like ours) or gender specific, oftentimes within the same overall club. Some crews enter a lot of races while never do. (We do several races a year but our favorite one we do every year in February is called the “Snow Row,” in which 75-100 boats of all types compete in February (and yes, we’re in New England, and it’s on the ocean in open water!)

        There’s just nothing like being out on the water to see the sun rise, or set, and to be out there with a crew enjoying the exercise, fresh air and mutual camaraderie. I hope that you find a chance to explore rowing further!
