What have I learned? What have you learned? What would I like to learn?

It’s a BIG question.

My answer is this: to TRUST more .. LISTEN more to the soft Whisperer within (God/True Source) – to BELIEVE with my whole heart

Life is fleeting. I’ve endured much loss – friends, spouses, days and nights to worry or fright – only to realize shortly thereafter that there is no need to worry – no benefit – however, to TRUST, PRAY, LISTEN, OPEN my HEART to God/True Source’s guidance and BELIEVE all will be well , therein, I find my wish for ALL persons – CONTENTMENT

What does Contentment look like to me?

It’s realizing that ALL I need, ALL around me is ENOUGH and ENJOY every moment of…

• Breath
• Warm Water
• Clean Water
• Healthy food – my Green/Fruity/Nutty Shake in the mornings
• ability to learn and practice Yoga
• Legs that move and allow me to roam the Mountains I love so much
• Conversing with the Trees
• Taking Photographs of all that catches my eye
• Enjoying the Light of sunrise and Moonrise
• to listen and walk by the River’s edge
• my Grandchildren
• my Children
• the gift of my spouse, Steve and his innate laughter and support
• my Church family
• my Alanon Family
• my Telephone calls and walks with Friends
• a Job with loving people
• Moments found to create Art
• the gift of my Parents, my Brothers, my Nieces and Nephews
• Friends abroad, Friends on Facebook
• Trees and Flowers of so many varieties in my back yard – and a Pond

Life is NOT all doom and gloom – it’s different

What I’m learning is to look with eyes open, ears and heart open, hands – open to what’s ALL around me and say Thank you!

As I said I’m learning – NOT perfect, nor, would I want to be.

Happy year of Contentment is my wish for ALL in this New Year!
