- Black Friday and I’m at home with Holly, my space heater, pajamas and an ice coffee.
- It’s overcast. I love cloudy days.
- Dee had a dizzy spell yesterday, but we got her settled in the couch and she didn’t fall or anything. Nancy worries very much over her and I’m grateful for her continued good health.
- Donald Trump has been elected our next president and while I think it’s a disastrous choice and it has shaken my confidence in my fellow Americans, I do it leading to a reckoning of sorts over the coming years. It will force those of us who care to to work harder and dig deeper to live in love and act with kindness. The darkness comes over me at times and my own anger and disgust and hatred bubble out, but I must not surrender to it. I know it’s not what You want for me.
- Transcendental Meditation, which I have, incredibly, kept up with over a year now; 20 minutes twice a day on the vast majority of days; once a day on the few others where a late morning or an evening out interfered; and only a handful of days – when traveling, mainly – that I missed altogether. Where that willingness came from I don’t know, but I’m grateful for it.
Many thanks,
Me
