A Really Happy New Year Day

Now that was my idea of a great New Year’s Day! First I read the paper and had a good breakfast. A tsunami of caring is about to come upon Southeast Asia for the relief of some of their suffering. Then I watched the whole Rose Parade on T.V. for the first time in years, broadcast without commercials, with good commentators and good camerawork. Then I prepared food for coming guests. Your habitual loving attention to food preparation inspired me to make stuffed mushrooms, of all things! Gourmet won over efficiency for once. My family and a few neighbors came through and watched the games with us and we visited all day long. At the end I was very tired, and very satisfied. I even enjoyed the Rose Bowl football game. The mushrooms were a hit too.
I am sorry you live too far to visit like that. We always have so much to share. You are the best listener! This coming year we must get to that meditation retreat that we missed last year. I can sustain inner silence for no more than a few seconds at best and need some help in that department. We’re not finished sharing over Joseph Campbell, either. Perhaps we will never be done with him! His best line so far? “Participate joyfully in the sorrows of life.” Each word needs close examination. It’s rather like, “Be still and know that I am God.” That line has given me hours of reflection too.
Blessings on you now and always.

Happy New Year! Yes, I am ready inside for that meditation retreat. I know it will bring a challenging spiritual gift to me. Campbell calls for slow reading, there is so much to process.
The change of years as measured by time always causes me to reflect upon the year past as well and the new one to come. With greatest joy I witnessed the marriage of my daughter. Thank you for sharing that day with me. Several good friends passed away. My younger daughter graduated, and my husband’s employment situation is much improved. I have also experienced a return to somewhat better health, and nothing is a greater blessing. And I have experienced the presence of angels walking with me to that return, including you. I thank God for you, your friendship and the love God sends through that vessel. May 2005 be a time of health, love and prosperity to us all!
