Deep trust in life is not a feeling
but a stance that you deliberately take.
It is the attitude we call courage.

It is night
The night stirs with news of aggression and instability in the Middle East. I pray for safety of the innocent. I pray for clarity and caution.
I share this in hopes that rest can be found.
new year – new day
Finish every day and be done with it…
You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
To-morrow is a new day;
you shall begin it well and serenely,
and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
In preparation for tomorrow, I am grateful for Emerson’s wisdom. It is a reminder for all of us to begin each day open handed and ready to receive all the day has to give.
As the sun sets on 2019 I treasure the moments, the memories and grieve the losses. Like the view in the image above, I will wake tomorrow knowing a new year stretches out in front of me – in front of all of us.
The year will fill soon enough. Begin it well.

To begin a New Year
Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.
