    My daughter needs care but it is in the hands of God right now. She left sober living and I am worried about her. Praying that the Good Lord will keep her safe and know what is best for her at this time. Amen

      Dear Robin Ann…my mother’s heart understands how hard it is to let go and let God when our children are suffering. I will remember you and your daughter in my prayers tonight.
      Blessings and peace. 🙏

    There is a deep love for all of creation. My care for her comes through awakening in this moment. The early morning birdsong is just one joyous reminder of this incredible unfolding.

    I hope all those I care about are doing well, but today is my lifelong best friend’s birthday so I would like to show her extra care today. I don’t know where I would be without her.

    I have a list of people that I treasure
    and a few that need care. I spoke on
    the phone with a dear friend this
    morning. It was a beautiful
    conversation. Honestly, the people
    In my life that need care right now,
    are my wife and myself. This is what
    I will concentrate on today.
    I am grateful for this last day
    of January.

    There is an immediacy to this question that makes it impossible for me to answer. However, I treasure a lot of people, and I imagine if I can be of help or service to them – right now or any time, they know that I’m here for them.

    Today’s question left me uncomfortable; It reminded me that for many years I thought I knew what was best for another. Today, I do not believe any one needs my care. That does not mean that I’m not concerned for others or that I do not care. It means that I do my best not to judge them. I know for a fact I cannot fix them! Caring, listening, sharing, and being kind seems to always help and when I pray for our relationship, I pray for wisdom to be an instrument of grace.

      Carol. Thank you…. praying for the wisdom to be an instrument of grace for those who may need us resonates strongly with me and my co-dependent tendencies.

        Good morning to my friend Diane! I hope that all is well with you and your family.
        We have been visited by a lot of snow and pretty frigid temps here again. The winter is feeling long, even though it is still January!
        Blessings to you and yours!

          Good evening Pilgrim. It’s been a long day but I’m grateful to find you here tonight.
          I love all the seasons but I think that this year many of us will be happy to see the spring arrive.

          ~Blessings to you as well….have a peace-filled sleep my friend. 🙏

    More of a what for me … my car. It’s at the dealership right now being worked on. I will have to Uber to work, my routine is changed… trying to be grateful I still have an option to get to work although it is different. Definitely grateful for my car and I’m taking care of it. MC will be happy.

    Simba, my little dog seems to have a hot spot again on his paw. So I have to take him to the vet today. He’s so sweet and I hope we can help him get through this.

    Perfect timing….and funny actually. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs right now! And that “someone” is our dog, Gracie, who’s coming down to be let out to pee! She’ll do her business, and immediately head back upstairs to join my sleeping wife, and our cat, for two more hours before getting up for the day.
