Hello, sweet friend…
Happy, HAPPY New Year!
at the end of 2021 I made a promise to myself that 2022 would be the year I embraced with outstretched arms…a joyful, open heart…and more joy (coming from peace, hope & faith)
I began with a gratitude list of all that I’m thankful for… especially being alive! I am breathing…have great energy…and looking forward to a wildly enthusiastic new year.
The year will bring a continued journey of the familiar…unknown experiences…new friends and the discovery of finding a deeper importance of happiness as a way of being.
I accept that I am a work in progress and I’m open to gain knowledge and perspective this year…
sometimes I find that what I think I may think I need…
is actually far from what will truly bring me genuine lasting happiness…
And so…this year I want to practice happiness with my thinking and my actions…
by focusing on the love around me as pure guidance.
Blessings…
What a wonderful reflection for 2022! Focusing on the love that surrounds us.
I really enjoyed your video and the tour of your garden.
Hoping for all good things for you in 2022
Thank you so much sweet Jose!
I love the optimism that shines out from your comments. I truly wish and hope with all my heart that this will turn out to be true. At 80, I find my optimism is wearing thin as I watch all the craziness and stupidity that seems to be spreading across our country. I applaud you for speaking out and again, truly hope you are a shining light for us.
Much love.
Nancy
Hello, dear kind Nancy…
I’m always so happy to see you and have you drop by for a visit. Have I ever told you that you have inspired me over the years? I remember when you sent me a kind card (while still living in California) I still have it…I admire people who take the time and send a written note.
As corny as this might sound… each morning before my feet touch the floor, I am so grateful for the good and safe night sleep that I have just experienced. Smiling in gratitude for being given another chance to live my best life today.
Blessings!
Oh Marcia…..being healthy and happy are the two main ingredients for this year! You exude them both! Happy New Year to you and Joe! I cant wait to see what this year has in store for you both xo
Hello, dear Donna…
Thank you for such kind wishes and words. Here’s to a better year filled with good health and joy. Love & hugs my friend.
Hi Marcia, I sure enjoyed listening to you. You are truly an inspiration. Wishing you a wonderful new year.
Love,
Cindy
