I’d like to take a turn from national political discourse today.
To my good fortune, I belong to a fellowship populated with some of the most peaceful folks one could meet. I eagerly read their daily posts on Facebook.
One women often will post delightful pictures of roses. Sometimes there might be a simple saying. The pictures themselves give me a calm breeze.
Another lady has found invigoration by hiking to various destinations in Pennsylvania. She has organized a few intrepid hikers to join her. I always anticipate the pictures that accompany her travels. A recent road trip down south yielded excellent pictures of the eclipse.
Yet another gal encourages reiki and yoga and some Buddhists messages. What is not to like about that missive greeting my day. One more women is a healer, using her skills with crystals, tarot, and infinite possibilities to bring uplifting messages to her followers.
Lest you think I leave men out, they are just as represented. Several urge gratitude messages. Others encourage a simpler approach to life. More encourage turning life’s difficulties into learning and growing experiences.
I am also lucky enough to follow a blog about the Power of Possibilities. Each day, a few times a day, inspirational comments and stories are inspiring. Curiously, they are not sappy. They remind me to be better today.
Interspersed between rants of the right and screams from the left and all the name calling and vitriol, are these redemptive calming messages and thoughts. I am glad they are there!
