Giving Thanks

Waking to the morning sun or a beautiful song, giving thanks for another opportunity. Whatever holds us to yesterday, it is gone and we remain in the forever changing present. It is this moment we find peace in our day, setting forth our intent for the day.

The fact we are awake…a blessing in itself. The fact we have another golden opportunity to share peace, love and joy…another.

After last couple sittings, there has been an overwhelming desire for calmness and quietude/ communion with nature. When engaging with others and realities of the day, I am witness to hostility or maybe overwhelming thoughts of fear and anger (not my own but others projecting onto me)…pointing fingers and projection on others for own lack of understanding.

I do not want to play that game anymore. I am just going to be.

What are your thoughts? What do you choose?

Stepping into the Canvas sending silent blessings to those around us. For lack of understanding or a misread, we could correct the others or we can simply smile and send them silent blessings. So for today…let us try to send healing and peaceful thoughts to those pointing fingers…
