When I started this blog, I wasn't sure I'd have something to be grateful for everyday, but I did. And I had lots more that wasn't shared on these blogs. It was a good exercise to remember that some of the best things in life are sometimes overlooked, yet small moments of joy are something to be savored and cherished. Even our icy snow mess on Tuesday/Wednesday created some wonderful snow scenes for my California guests and seeing their appreciation for the winter beauty made me appreciate what that brief storm created, despite the icy conditions. So as we have entered Advent and the four themes of Advent are hope, peace, love and joy, I'll try to continue to post a daily affirmation during December. It is the season of light and while there is much (too much) going on to protest and feel at times all is lost, I will look for something positive to share for the next 30 days. It is so easy to get worn down and worn out, but I will persist because I do believe that love will win. I know folks are reading this posts because I get statistics, and if you feel like adding something, please use the comments. In the meantime, I will continue to look for joy in as many places as possible and hope you are able to do so as well. Namaste.
This blog is for posting positive news and words of encouragement in the hope it will help keep others uplifted during these difficult times.
