Hershey, PA rings a bell - reminds me of chocolate, right? I am so glad you are enjoying yourself! Go on having a good time!

Love,
Juliana

I'm grateful for the peace and quiet in which to just 'be.'

Jude

“Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted – a paved road or a washing machine?”

Today I am grateful for finding yesterday’s thought for the day, part of which is listed above. –paved roads, washing machines, electricity, gas, movement of fingers,seeing hearing, a glass of clean water, an inside bathroom, a warm shower, a hair dryer, a simple fingernail clipper, a comb, a brush, a toothbrush—the list is endless of all those little things that I take so for granted, yet so very much of the world would feel wealthy beyond belief if they had just one half of all that I take for granted.

I am grateful for good service from workmen like him.

Status: offline 		Marie,

I am glad to see you are back. It is good to know you are taking good care of yourself!

Tonight I am grateful for a special day, with my sister-in-law, her daughter and the daughter´s  baby boy visiting. The little 5 months-old is a bundle of joy, we had brilliant sunshine with a clear blue sky, not too warm, everything perfect. What counts more, however, and what I am most grateful for is that my sister-in-law, who used to be very reticent, was this time able to talk about herself, her problems and her joys, while the baby was sleeping peacefully in the shade of the trees.

Juliana

Status: offline 		Juliana, I am glad that you had such a satisfying day! Blue skies, mountains and woods... I can only dream!

I am grateful for a positive visit with Leon's dermatologist. He does need to remain on medication so that the blister problem won't return.

Edda

After many different attempts, it was discovered that if some beer was put in the water bowl and the pill was dropped into it, the beer and pill was immediately slurped up. After retrospective discussions, it seemed only logical that beer was the best way to give medicine to a GERMAN shepherd.
Barbara, congratulations on being self-taught in the area of completing grant applications. May it fly on Spirit Winds and bring the results that are
best for both you and your work. Prayers go out for your "retreat", wherever and whenever it occurrs.
Lynn, it is good to see your post. Hopefully your vacation has allowed you to "swim in the most luscious chocolate" ever imagined. May
sumptuous experiences fill your "vacation palate" with an abundance of incredibly delicious memories.
Dear Marie, it is so good to "see" you again and hear that you are being kind to yourself. In the words of Mya Angelou, "I did what I knew how to
do, when I knew better I did better." You have been such a gift to all here, that there is no doubt that prayers continue for you whether we
"see" you on line or not.
Jude, it was good to read of your day of peace and quiet and time to just "be".Sometimes completely responsibility-free days to just be a human
being rather than a human doing come all to rarely. I join you in being very grateful for those who provide good service when we need it
most.
Juliana, one can almost see you beaming in your post about the little one, the mountains, woods etc. May you have many more days filled with
such joy.
Edda, it is good to read that Leon's dr visit was so positive. I pray that your yearning for blue sky, mountains and woods become more than a
dream or a memory from your heart happiness closet. Until it can become a reality, may your heart memories of such times fill you with
much peace and joy. Blessings on your prayer group tomorrow.

Today I am grateful for lack of sleep last night giving me time to go back and reread so many posts from so many individuals, some whom we no longer “see” in the forum. Pure gift to reread such an abundance of life’s wisdom and so filled with loving concern for each other.

To all of you, both those who have posted in the past and those who continue to post, May your weekend be filled with the gentle moments of allowing the "Spirit Wind" to carry each of us to the experiences of the Holy One that we each need most at this moment.

Status: online 		Today I am grateful for 2 things. (probably I could think of more)
Firstly, to see and hear the second of this year's Buzzard 'babies.' I heard a new voice, and looked out of the window to see one clinging precariously to the top of a conifer, (the sort with very soft leaves!) and the other flying over him. They flew around for a while, calling 'mum and dad' to "feed me!" then joined one of the parents in a high altitude adventure. I hope these two will survive any vandal attacks this year.

Secondly, although it was due to sad circumstances, I am grateful for having watched the Randy Pausch videos on Youtube. What an inspiring man.

These two events put my grumbles into perspective.

Jude

Prayers and blessings for all. Hugs and love. Lynn xo

Status: offline 		Jude, it was really special to read about your Buzzard "babies. One could hear the excitement and joy in your post. The whole Randy Pausch
video is amazing. One of our TV stations is doing a special on him on Tuesday night. The good old concept--in paradox, there is truth. Thru his cancer, facing his own imminent death and the "Last Lecture" that it produced, many others will choose to live a different kind of life.
May his family be comforted with his loving care in their time of grief.
Lynn, there is such a warm glow of joy which radiates from your post. May your trip home be filled with many awe filled blessings.
Barbara, may you have many more experiences of just being one with the endless sea of blue speckled with occasional white cottony mountains and the gentle waters of new life quietly enfolding you.

Today I am grateful for a warm rich cup of coffee, a fingernail clippers, a pair of glasses, the hum of the air conditioner as it cleanses the outside air that feels as though it needs to be wrung out and dried.

May we all be open to all the little blessing surprises that this week holds for us.

Love, Jude

for being able to pray with and for him and for his being much more peaceful when I left a little while ago. Thank you all for your prayers
and candles.
Jude, dear, if you still haven't gotten my emails, my only other suggestion would be to send a PM. Prayers continue for Gemrock.

I did get your emails, but it seems you didn't get mine. Maybe your Internet provider doesn't like my new email address!

How is a PM different from a normal post here? Isn't the email facility still disabled? I hope it can be sorted out.

Lots of Love, Jude

As it's Tuesday it was counselling day and my Son didn't turn up.........he forgot. However, it turned out to be quite beneficial for me. Funny how changes of plans often do that. So I was feeling quite cheerful on my return walk home. As I was walking accross the bridge, the 2 newly-fledged buzzard chicks were flying overhead and having a bit of a boxing match. I wondered if one felt superior and was trying to chase his sibling off his patch. There were several people crossing the bridge on foot, but no-one else watched them. I expect most people think they're seagulls.

Jude
