Thankful is a Feeling, and Being Grateful is an Action
As summer slips to fall I am thrilled to remember all the moments this year filled with kindness. In light of all the 2020 blunders, people seemed a little nicer in 2021.
Meditation: What is it?
His Holiness, the Dalai Lama says, “All human beings have an innate desire to overcome suffering, to find happiness. Training the mind to think differently, through meditation, is one important way to avoid suffering and be happy.”
You Can Do This!
With the busy lives most of us live today, we have very little time for true self-expression.
Choose to be Thankful
In a world filled with unrest, negativity, hatred and division, there’s still so much to be thankful for. It would be so easy to get caught up in all the mayhem, but I refuse to.
The Shadows Know
A pale cream hue caressed the jagged rocks of the quarry. First dawn, when pitch darkness turns to light, a time of awakening, a time to watch the shadows melt.
False Hope
What does hope reveal? Are you thankful that hope exists? Does it fill you with excitement, freedom or joy? Do you remember being thankful for hoping your peers, family members or friends become amazing, well-balanced or healthy people?
What Are You Thankful For?
I am thankful for every time someone said NO. Because that made me find another way, another solution, another group, another team, another relationship.
A Final Note
Developing thankfulness is a personal journey. We don’t all have the same capacity to see all the happenings in our lives as events to be thankful for.
From the Editor
Relationships are a vital part of our lives. We are constantly interacting with other people. Whether or not we are getting along with the important people in our lives determines, to a large extent, the quality of our lives. Make it a point to be conscious when you are making new connections and building relationships.
The Choice is Yours
Every person who comes into our lives has a lesson for us. There are those who teach us, those who hurt us, those who took us for granted, those who remind us, those who encourage us, and those who love us. You didn’t meet any of them by chance. You met them for the lesson.
