My sweetheart and I do a daily reading together. Then we sit a while in silence, then share thoughts about what bubbled up.
There are usually surprising “aha’s” that pop up.
The other morning our reading yielded a new mantra for us:
Give blessings, share joy, live in gratitude.
We like this – a lot.
Happy Thanksgiving!
