My "small stone"
It's damp and miserable outside.
I watch the rain trickle down the window's glass
and I realize I'm so glad to be inside, warm and dry.
Being mindful....I know there are homeless, too many in my neck of the woods, but as I wrote this I began to think, "What if I didn't have an 'inside, warm and dry' to go to?" I've been a bit preoccupied about, with the rising cost of rent, car insurance, fuel, healthy food and so on, how I was going to stretch my income, which, of course, hasn't gone up. I get so caught up worrying about what I think I need or about what could happen, I forget to be grateful for all that I do have. Oprah Winfrey, a modern-day sage wisely said, "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."
Yep, these are words I need to remember when worry guides my life! Mother Goddess, may I receive all your gifts with gratitude.
Hi, Sophia, it's Erin here. I had the same thought about my home just a couple of hours ago, I thought, isn't it great to have a place, a home to go back? I'm certainly thankful for being so lucky.
