September, 2023The three syllable months have now arrived. To me their arrival always signals a busy time of the year as well as a reminder that the current year is rapidly running out of months. According to the meteorological calendar, fall starts on September 1. So I am more than happy to declare this the first day of fall.
So, welcome to my blog...I hope you take a moment to stop and enjoy. Maybe you will find a recipe that you just have to try. Maybe you will find a story or quote that will amuse you and make you laugh. Maybe you will find a story or a quote that will inspire you. And throughout it all, please enjoy my pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words, is it not? And, it is the little joys that carry us through dark times. So...this is my gift to you. Please enjoy... |

World Peace
September 21, 2023
Peace in my heart is my gift to the world.
Today I envision a peaceful world. I imagine harmony and cooperation inspiring the minds and hearts of all people. Like a lake that has been disturbed momentarily by movement, I see fear and anger dissipating, ripples fading into the distance as the surface of the water becomes still. Calm engenders calm, and peace grows. Compassion fills every heart.
I begin this important work by searching within myself for simmering resentments, judgments, and unkindness. With compassion, I forgive myself, softening the hardened parts of my heart. From this place, I need not wish for peace because I bring peace.
As each heart softens and opens to include all others, peace will blanket the earth.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.—Colossians 3:15
