Creativity and knowledge of people who love their work. I meet many of these people every day. It’s rightly inspiring and at the same time it’s a reminder not to complain.
My third lesson on Buddhism, with Mexican professor Jesús Cabrera, where we talked about what is Happiness and the importance of being grateful at all times in order to be happy.
Also, one of the things that stayed echoing in my mind was Shakyamuni Buddha teaching that “the best of the good deeds to pursue happiness is to listen to the teachings of Buddhism”.
My first practice session with our Bryson City United Methodist Church Glory Strings Players group. I’m learning to play the Autoharp with a group of friends who play dulcimer, guitar, fiddle, banjo, and violin in church and by invitation at other special local events. I cannot imagine life without music, which I believe is proof that God loves us, and am so blessed to be invited to be part of this group… ❤️🙏🏻
Every night just before I drop off to sleep, I send love as a gift to myself into the next day. Each morning, as I sit and drink the first sip of coffee, I pick it up. The first sip of hot strong coffee and here I am responding to this question and love is inspiring me.
While preparing for a Gratefulness-meeting with some friends coming soon, where it is my pleasure to invite people of my area for pondering on what might be essential, the question arose of how to support being authentic and of how to honor own truth while in the same time honoring the truth of another. These questions given by the Gratefulness-team have inspired me today and will for a while. So grateful to meet these questions inside and together with friends.
The wonder of my breath. I feel the rise and fall. I hear the quiet passage through my nostrils. I sense the energy within my body with each breath. Yet it is invisible. Unable to be grasped. And if it stops, then I leave. What a wonderful, gracious, moment-by-moment gift!
On my usual daily walk I decided today to take photos of all the flowers I saw. I thought I knew all the flowers around here but this way I saw so many more, realised the differences between some I thought were the same, noticed differences in distribution, timing of flowering….and their amazing beauty. what a wonderful way to start the day.
My dear friend who is living into a serious cancer diagnosis. In the midst of making decisions about treatment she is her usual excited self about our in person visit and doing the fun stuff we enjoy. Like swimming in a lake, a bike ride, gathering for dinner with friends.

What inspires me is to have another chance to begin again today with pleasure in simple things.
