THERE'S MORE TO COME AND SOME OF IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL

Let's  take advantage of our boundless imaginations.  All we need is a spark.  A spark is an idea that kindles and grows.  When it catches hold it comes from within.

A belief in eternity is the greatest comfort there is.  Our sacred space is where we find God.  If we stay still God comes.  I know that from experience.  At the same time, when we hold sacred company with ourselves,  even when alone we are whole.  

Remembering that almost everything needs time to grow,  we can  stop rushing.  We find our balance in uncertain times by treating ourselves as we would a friend.  Caring for ourselves is not self-indulgent.  It is caring for one of God's gifts.  

Today is a crisp sunny day. My husband and I were at the Jersey Shore eating sandwiches at the edge of a river with family.  Food, family and an open day.  Such are gifts to be accepted and opened at once.   Let's never resist a sunny day.  Rather, we should fill up our senses.  When we take time to be a little mindful of our surroundings we are rewarded.  Today there were boats and soft waves and children.  It's true that some days just carrying on is a superhuman achievement worthy of applause.  But not one with sun, family and food.  On those days even a damaged soul or despairing heart can heal.  No matter where we are in life there's more to come.  And some of it will be beautiful.
