Nuances

For your consideration…….

Finding a picture for today’s message turned out to be a little more challenging than normal. What I found ranged from extremely serious to silly. I picked this one because it carried the “feeling” of today’s message.

We have often been reminded to be fully present in the moment so we can fully impact it and get all that we can out of it. Today we are gently reminded of the benefits of being fully present. We are reminded that when we are there we can see, hear and feel the little “nuances” of the moment. We can get the full character of it. Sometimes we get so involved in the big picture we miss the details that truly impact it. What is unsaid is often just as important or more important than  what is said.

Often the nuances are what brings the moment to life. They make the ordinary extraordinary. Now we wouldn’t want to miss that, would we?

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take……

-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. Full breaths. Those of us up here in the deep freeze may be tempted to make them puffs instead. We want to avoid that.

-Pay attention to the nuances.

What made me smile yesterday……

-Aunt Dorothy seemed to rally from a little late night health issues.

-SKYPing with Alex before she left again.

-A half day at school.

-Finishing a good book.
