Musings: The Golden Hour

From my nature writing journal, Fall 2015

I was sitting on the front porch reading and watching the half dozen crows that were making a raucous in the trees across the road. The crows cawed loudly. The squirrels scurried about. A blue jay screeched its name, “Jay, Jay,” in the distance. Fall was quietly descending a little every day. I could see a tinge of golden brown in the grasses on the other shore across the river.

Daily Affirmations: Forgiveness

Today, I seek to make forgiveness part of the path I walk this day. For I acknowledge that the place in me that holds on to grievances, only holds me down.

Daily Affirmations: Acceptance, Tolerance and Understanding

Today, I am reminded that acceptance, tolerance and understanding are pivotal to any and all relationships. Today, I will practice these three attributes towards everyone whom I meet and come in contact with. Today, I will acknowledge that it is not my job to fix or change anyone, it is simply my mission today and everyday, to accept them and love them the way they are.

We all have issues, no one is perfect. Acceptance does not mean we must blindly like everything about someone, it means that we simply accept them. This is a deep practice that takes time and work. Each time we are confronted with the need to practice these skills we go a little deeper into the realm of tolerance and understanding.

sandy point trail

Today, I strive to make a difference where ever I go. Today, I strive to touch one life in such a way that I provide comfort, solace and help in some meaningful way.
