Even when we learn we will be continuously tested. You’re not alone.

Mark and Angel,
Thanks for stopping by. I love your blog.

Thanks Tess.

Angie’s last blog post..Are you sabotaging your children’s future?

I make sure my family and friends reallycome first. Easy to say, but how often do we inadvertently neglect them because we think they’ll always ‘be there’?

I’ve learned that the best way to avoid pain is to stop resisting what is and start working on why I’m resisting, what my judgements about others are really teaching me about myself.

I believe it’s better to be kind than right and avoid bitterness by mentally blessing anyone I might have seen as an ‘enemy’ before I learned better. People are generally doing the best they can with what they’ve got.

There’s perfection, somewhere, in every situation and it’s a great habit to look for it.

I ask myself every day how I can contribute. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give others is to listen to them with our hearts, really listen.

I try to stop shoulding all over myself and identify more more coulds, needs and wants. I try to love my own humanity as well as other folks’.

I love details and send out silent prayers of gratitude every day for all of my senses and faculties as well as for my loved ones .

I make time for reading and writing every day. It’s one way of learning who I am.

I try to get enough water and sleep, treats and fun.

I pray by being present and connected, I learn by being open and listening and I work till I’m tired.

I too liked Lance’s comments .. I try and listen and mostly manage it .. perhaps I’m tired now & tend to talk when I’m in a conversation – but I’m still asking questions .. and today wrote a letter on my blog to a 9 year old who’s visiting her mother in hospital – so I wasn’t so bad at talking .. let my fingers do it this morning!

Thanks I’m looking forward to participating as much as I can ..
All the best
