Ponderings #34

Dear fellow travelers,

Today is a beautiful day! Trust you are taking advantage of it. Maybe a walk or just to be or to do something wonderful outside.

It was just a few short weeks ago that we all hopefully enjoyed a great Thanksgiving and now in just a few short weeks it is the holiday season of the Festival of lights and of Joy and Peace.

The old saying of make a list of what you want to the little kids was and still is popular but what if we as big people changed that from want to what can I give?

What does that list look like?

For me

I give more in service

I give more to LISTEN

I give more to be with family and friends

I give more to assist others

I give more to my talents

I give more to learn something new everyday

I give more to exercise

I give more to call someone I haven't talked to lately

I give myself to step up

I give myself more to meditate

I give up judging

I give love and gratitude

I make healthy and good decisions

I JUST MAKE TIME and not excuses!

WO W this sounds like New Years resolutions!!

But just think what it would be like if I really did all, everydaythru the year!

If we all did what we made a list to do everyday!!!

What does your list read?

Joy and Peace!! is ours.

Just pondering on gifts to give

Ponderings #35

Dear fellow travelers,

I'm glad I know you, and you are a blessing to me.

I had the privilege of hearing a concert last night and one of the songs that was sung, is my sentiments to you. (with just a little paraphrasing and editing)

"I wish you starlight on fields of snow,

The winter's morning light and evening's glow:

I wish you candles that shine from ev'ry tree,

So all the world can see the light that you shine and the light that can be

I wish you music, I wish you song,

With happy voices echoing, joyous and strong;

I wish you a happy holiday season,

A season to be remembered all thru the year.

Old friends smiling and new friends abounding

Spirits are bright, and hopes are high.

I wish you loved ones around you all year.

May this season bring you all your heart desire and anew.

I wish you blessings, I wish you love.

I wish you laughter, I wish you happiness and cheer

I wish you a happy season,

and may it be joy and peace and continue all year.

I wish you harmony your whole life long

The warmth of good memories that long remain

I wish you the best for all and thru the new year

And may you be blessed beyond

til we talk again.

Wishing you happiness

Linda Patton RScP ENTC
