And so, I Blog!!

Soooo, everybody is blogging except for Moi? Is this the newest form of writing? Are we headed towards the reality of the movie "Fahrenheit 451 "? What a tragedy that would be!! I have tried Twitter~for about 48 hours ,not for me at all! I do Facebook, but also find it to be truly surfacy and a bit of a waste of my time. I like to write, not twit or mindlessly comment. So, I guess I will. :) Here I will share on the most precious thing in my life, my recovery and my spiritual journey. If my only audience is that of the ether, that will be good enough ... for I write not to be read, but because I am called to write!!! And so, I blog!!
I will begin with the daily readings from the book:
A Grateful Heart ~ 365 ways to give thanks at mealtime edited by MJ Ryan
The Winter Prayers began on the first day of winter ~ so I am begining there. The winter prayers begin with this thought:
A thankful soul is thankful under all circumstances, a complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise. -BAHA'U'LLAH
Please join me in thought-provoking conversaton! Namaste' Cate

Happy Spring !!

I was watching Rosie as she celebrated her 50th birthday this year.  She said that there has been a change in what is considered the first day of Spring!  It is now the 20th instead of the 21st ~ whichever it is, I am a little  bit late, but my wishes are heartfelt all the same!  Happy Happy Spring!!!


Our prayer book begins with the following thought for the new season ....


Angeles Arrien writes, " The capacity to acknowledge
others is directly equated with our ability to extend
gratitude.  Cross culturally there are four ways we
acknowledge one another: Acknowledgement of
skills, Character qualities, appearance, and the impact
that others make on us.  The great healers of the
world are gifted in their capacity to use the four
acknowledgments in equal proportions.  A daily
practice of gratitude would be extending those four
acknowledgments to ourselves and to our loved ones,
towards our friends and our colleagues."  Let us take a few
moments right now to make those acknowledgments
to at least one person.


And so, we begin this lovely season with an invitation to express gratitude!  


Thank you, thank you, Thank you to all my dear wonderful unique family and friends ... I am so truly blessed!!!!
