I help members where I work with issues regarding their medicaid eligibility. Maybe they are unable to get a prescription they need. I work with the state of RI to resolve issues with member’s coverage.
My husband likes to work in teams
where as
I am just as happy to work alone . . .
he likes the helper,
someone to feel his pain
when something doesn’t work the way he wants it to,
an extra pair of hands putting the vegetable garden to bed.
So today,
after installing a new black ink cartridge in my printer
I helped,
and that was my service to humanity today,
a pitiful excuse,
I know,
in the grand scheme of things,
but it brought him out of a ‘mood’,
and what started out
as a rather dismal climate in the home
turned out to be an afternoon of companionship
and shared goals.
While I was outside working
I noticed
that the birds have been enjoying the giant sunflowers
that bend over the garden,
their stalks
now too thick to pull up by hand,
and the rabbits are coming out to a supper
of fresh cauliflower leaves
that I’ve tossed over the fence
for them to find . . .
small service
performed for them.
I hope
that in my way,
I can be of service to the Universe
by remaining mindful of the energy I put out there,
knowing it will drift away
and catch on nettles and stray branches,
and perhaps brush against someone’s face
as they are walking home from work
or bringing in the trash cans. ♥
I’ll gauge opportunities for service against my own capacity, which today is admittedly low. I will stay open to what comes, and to being of service where I can–without feeling a compulsion or guilt about it.
A friend will be coming this afternoon. She says she loves to clean my house and I truly think she does. Of course, she’s of service to me because she does things like vacuuming that I can no longer do. Walt Whitman said, “I hear and behold God in every object.”I would add that it’s important to behold and hear God in every person which I’m sure we all know is sometimes not easy to do. However with this friend, it is. Today, I will be very conscious of beholding the God in her. I am thinking this is a practice I should embrace daily.
Today is a workday for me. So, I will be of service to my work partner (and friend), by getting a project finished. My wife, by taking care of things around our house. My circle of supportive friends, by checking in and staying in touch with them.
And I’ve started today by nourishing myself spiritually, and I will continue to take care of myself with some stretching and hopefully a quick walk.
This is the plan, but we’ll see what unfolds.
I’ll be traveling all day. I’ll watch for people who look as if they need assistance or a smile from a stranger. I’ll also be patient with any frustration my husband expresses along the way. I surrender myself to the travel gods and take things as they come; sometimes he gets frustrated with things that don’t run smoothly.
I have to make a run to the grocery store this morning. There are always people who need assistance of some sort there, If I just pay attention. I’ll look for that opportunity.
Angela got me right last night by having me join the Red Letter Ministries AKA RLM Fellowship group voice chat. Doing a couple songs in “Jump Man” and “Zeldamu’s Collective Way” helped to release frustration over lack of autonomy for 4 days. My way to be of service today and moving forward is to put away the theatrics which I got a head start last night. Fundementals are greater than flash.
I can be of service today by hosting an educational facilitation group. While this is just part of a class project, it is important to me to demonstrate how learning and sharing knowledge are valuable. Happy Tuesday, everyone!
Today I can be of service by guiding meditation and listening to others. I’m so grateful to get to participate in meditation sessions with people from all over the world.
I can also be of service by paying attention to how I speak and act in the world.
With every action of thought, word and deeds I can truly be of service and support to others. Thank you for sharing here and caring about one another.
Today’s question is a reminder to be open to opportunities to be of service. It’s really a good reminder as I just finished hosting family for a few days and woke up this morning feeling grateful for such a good visit. And at the same time feeling like I wanted to be totally selfish today with my time. And yet I know that would not be the most satisfying way to spend today. So, open eyes and open heart, and into the day we go. 🧡
Today I am happy to possibly help someone onward with his health, will meet him in the afternoon. May be I can help my landlord in our garden also, which would be a real pleasure collecting the last fruits, and leaves from the beautiful trees in our garden.

Every gesture counts, Sparrow. 🧡
Something for me to ponder on, more that I do, dear Sparrow. To remain mindful of the energy I put out there. Thank you for this timely reminder.
Sparrow, helping others is the best buzz of all.
Small acts of kindness like holding the door for someone or compliment them <3.

How beautiful, Carol Ann.🧡
What a kind friend, Carol. I’ve always thought it easier to clean other people’s houses than my own, I believe her that she enjoys it too.
”I will be very conscious of beholding the God in her. I am thinking this is a practice I should embrace daily.”
I have adopted this practice too,
dear Carol Ann,
and although results are spotty
I keep working at it.
It takes time
and reminders like this. ♥
I will be open to the possibilities that present themselves.

Safe travels 🙂
May your travels encounter cooperative weather, so the going is smooth, Barb.
Yesterday I had to remind my friend Mike about the serenity prayer. Sometimes the constant complaining gets on my nerves!
Safe journey home,
dear Barb. ♥
Second this, safe travels Barb.

Today, I will plan a birthday party for a family member.
Lucky them, Contented One.🧡
