BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
I invite you to come and join me on this pilgrimage to change the world through thankfulness. Perhaps if enough of us join together we can change the negative climate that exists and is overtaking our planet. Together we can move our fellow citizens of to a better, higher and finer place.
Mother’s Day is a holiday I usually like to have over as soon as possible. It has seemed to me for many years that the day was too emotionally charged. But this Mother’s day I just enjoyed. It was calm and filled with small and beautiful surprises. I had time to enjoy my family and also to do one of my favorite things to do this time of the year – make strawberry jam.
I did my Snoopy dance of celebration and I was thankful for everything that goes into a PERFECT ordinary day.
“As you grow older you will discover that the most important things that will happen to you will often come as a result of silly things, as you call them –“ordinary things” is a better expression. That is the way the world is.” Chaim Potok
I hope that by writing these posts that we will move together beyond thankfulness into appreciation. Because appreciation for the moments and things for which we give thanks requires us to be mindful of our lives.
At the end of the post you will find a link up frog and I hope you will join me on this venture and once a week write a post and link up to others and share what you are thankful for this week.
PLEASE ADD YOUR POST AND TOGETHER WE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD.
