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

If you let go a lot

Do everything with a mind that lets go.  Do not expect
any  praise or reward.  If you let go a little, you will have
a little peace.  If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of
peace.  If you let go completely, you will know complete
peace and freedom.  Your struggles with the world will
have come to an end.

Wow .. what a reading for today! 
Just what I needed.
Sometimes I really do get this and I let go
quickly and completely.
Other things I hang on to things
and let go a little bit at a time.

Sometimes these simple truths
are just not that easy!

Therefore, I practice praying for the willingness ...
it works, it really does!

I'm struggling with grief today,
praying to let it go into gratitude.

What are you willing to let go?

Let's choose freedom!!
