This morning I listen to the weather person bemoan the fact that there have been the fewest sunny days and no 90 degree days at all this June or July. I then immediately thought of a dear friend with Lupus who cannot be in the sun at all and for whom hot days are a challenge.
I wonder whether there is anything more important than perspective?
I was recently driving on traffic-clogged streets during a snowstorm on my way to pick up my daughter. I was feeling a bit sorry for myself because I was embarking on two hours of driving to shuttle her from one friend’s to another’s and then home. I decided to think about all the wonderful things I was doing, including driving a beautiful hybrid vehicle, picking up my wonderful daughter and having freedom to go where I wanted. Just then a man in an open convertible drove by with a Christmas tree in the passenger side! I rolled down my window and called, “Nice tree!” He laughed and said he was thinking about leaving it right where it was.
I wonder how it would feel if we reached out to each other to celebrate what is great about each moment, especially when it may not be obvious?
*Diane is a dear friend of ours and we are honored to share her mindful moment with you. We look forward to sharing moments from other dear friends in the future. You are all invited to play! Thank you, Diane!
In the age of information storage, it seems as though most things worth knowing are being warehoused in places open to the public. Books, theories, encyclopedias and the parts list for my sink are there for all to see.
I wonder if our reasons for teaching certain things are still valid?
