“The simplest spiritual discipline is some degree of solitude and silence. To be with our own thoughts and feelings is probably the most courageous act most of us will ever do.”
…and the sun has been shining most of the day. However, when I left the condo this morning for my chai latte a massive cloud bank sat along the easter horizon hiding the sun. It finally broke above the cloud bank about 8:00 am and immediately began to warm and brighten our day. People were out enjoying this beautiful day. Parking lots to the natural areas were full this afternoon. Now the long late afternoon shadows have faded into the coming darkness as the sun sets and the feeling of cold surrounds me. I’m in for the night to read and post these simple words. Hope you had a good weekend and pray you have a good week.
Saw a bumper sticker today that I liked and it made me smile. It’s a bit different than its cousin by one word. It says, “Make America Grateful Again.” I’m not so sure either grateful or great are the best words but I would like to have our country be known as grateful rather than great.

I seldom see them in NC, but have always loved the sunny but cold day that often follows a snowstorm. Sounds like what you had today.
There’s a lot of bumper sticker philosophy out there, but my candidates for “Make America….Again” might include “Compassionate”, “Sane” and, dare I say “American.”

We presently have a light snow falling and 28 degrees. Forecast is for cloudy and overcast days for the wee with little sunshine.
I like two of your suggestions but American doesn’t work for me as there are some unhealthy ideas of what American means. Stay warm, my friend.

Love the sunlit rabbitbrush. Sunlight can cure many things, including low spirits.

I very much agree with you, Faye. Sunlight is good medicine for my body and spirit. Looks like your forecast has mostly sunny but cooler days this week. Hugs!
