For your consideration…
Children gain a lot of life skills when they compete in sports. My girls both competed on swim teams. Swimming is not the most exciting sport to watch but as a team sport, it has a lot going for it. In swimming, you are always competing against your best time. The best way to help your team is to beat your own best time. In essence, it is an individual sport as well as a team sport.
That is the example we have for today’s message. We are asked to remember that we are all on the same team. Being our best self is the best way to help our team; Team Spirituality, Team Community, Team Family, Team Country, Team World.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…
-Affirm…“I am loved.”
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Be our best self.
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day.
-Jul, Louie, and I walked LeForge Preservation Area. It was beautiful and for the first time in a long time, we did not get lost.
-Catching up with our neighbor and both my girls.
-Cruise reservations made.
-A good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
