Trying to nurture my health more this week as the weather starts to get better. I have walked twice during lunch and lifted weights and rode the bike in our work gym.
Robin, it’s easier to do that with good weather. Nature is irreplaceable. It will be 60 degrees in the Twin Cities on Monday. Hopefully, it won’t be too long that my family will be walking outside.
Meditation is something I value so I decided that twice a week I will do longer meditation sessions for four or five hours. So grateful I get to do this ! 💓🌱🙌
I made cookies this morning and will share with my 90 year old neighbors. They love it when I come bearing sweets! They are so very good to me. I’m blessed to have such wonderful next door neighbors.
I value myself & my well being so I plan to get a long walk in. I try to walk everyday. Yesterday I was unable to, weather, so today I will walk a bit longer. I feel so good when I walk.
Happy Thursday All…..🙏🏻❤️✨
I already did this before reading the question: March 8 is International Women’s Day and women’s fundamental rights to their own bodies and decisions are under attack in the US. I looked up the Women’s March information for my town and sent it to a friend who would likely go with me, looked it up for the city where my older daughter is living and sent it to her, and asked my younger daughter if she knows of one (she moves around for housesitting/petsitting jobs so I don’t know what would be closest to her right now).
I have been very busy with work lately and I have fallen off of some of my practices. Today I will have a bit more free time and I will make sure to spend some of it in meditation, stretching/yoga, and connecting with a few friends that I have neglected.
I too,
have a little more free time than usual,
and have been spending it,
dear Charlie,
in meditation and reading words written
by people whose views I respect and aspire to,
listening to music with meaning . . .
getting back into the heart of things. ♥
Meditating in the evening as well and reading the sutras, and yes, after the professional chores are done, playing music! and hosting the gratefulness meeting today. So happy that we share regularly once a month. Thank you all for your kindness and presence.
Sounds like a good day to me! I have a weekly zoom class thru my YTT on the sutras, and it’s one of my favorite hours of the week. Glad you’re feeling better 🙂
Yes dear Elizabeth, I do feel a bit better, had some more hours of sleep tonight and all the support here as well as of my dear friends here who as well are so kind to be with me even in such dark moments help a lot to find some perspective again. I felt as if being a baby carried softly in a moment of feeling in nameless lost and despair. Thank you for your warm reply, dear friend.
The simple step of engaging with this gratefulness question and reading your responses helps me in nurturing a sense of spaciousness and perspective in my life.
There are several actions I could take to nurture things that I value.
Thursday is my best day to work on things I want to accomplish..
No appointments or visits with Mom.
I could nurture my creativity by working on a portrait that I started on Tuesday night art class.
Or I could complete some tasks that are important to me which would nurture my need for order.
Or I could do both. Yes that would be best as long as I don’t use up my time and energy on completing tasks.
I will choose a few tasks to complete first, and then spend the rest of the afternoon on art. Yay!!!
I’m going to take a long walk on the trails in the local park with my dog. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, I will nurture my physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
I value that in my city, we have a culture of chatting with strangers with a basic level of trust. I’ll nurture that today by chatting with strangers at the dog park. I do appreciate the random conversations that happen there, as we stand around watching our dogs.
It’s my best friends birthday today! I wouldn’t be who I am without them and I will be fully present with them today and this weekend as we go out and celebrate. 🙂

Four or five hours of meditation.
Wow! That a long time!
I value my marriage,,, and today I’m going to listen and love with more intention.
I made cookies this morning and will share with my 90 year old neighbors. They love it when I come bearing sweets! They are so very good to me. I’m blessed to have such wonderful next door neighbors.
Carol, those cookies sound delicious.
They’re blessed to have you for a neighbor!
Exactly!

That’s awesome, we are celebrating women’s history at work this week.

Thanks for the link, Sparrow!
I’ve always loved My Sweet Lord.
George Harrison was great!
That’s what I did,
and i feel so much better for it . . .
I feel wiped clean
and fresh for a new day . . .♥

There are some chores I’ve been putting off, and since I value order, I will tend to these things and get them done!

I like dividing the time for both tasks and art. I appreciate your need for order – I have that as well!

Best friends are, well, the best! Enjoy!
To repeat the word TRUST often. Today that feels mountmental.
Best wishes Yram with your husband. Sending love to the both of you.
