“All the windows of my heart
I open to the day." 
- John Greenleaf Whittier

What a fabulous way to begin a day! 

Let's open the windows of our hearts and let 
fresh air, light, and love clear the way 
for discoveries and delights; 
healings and understandings; 
answers and guidance; 
abundant blessings, 
hope and joy.

May peace flow too - to us and through us - so that we can be peace makers, peace builders, peace holders and peace keepers.

Let's watch for beauty and goodness too.

Today and every day, 

Charlene

PS -  About the photo...On my short drive to our community pool for an early morning swim, my sight drifted upward to the top of a street light I was passing. I almost didn't see the hawk. But when I did, I stopped to observe. The hawk seemed to be looking straight out to the vista ahead of us. Yes, he may have been perched high to watch for prey. But the way he held his head, he seemed to gaze, as I did, over lakes and hills to the far-off horizon. I felt a loving connection with him. Let's open ourselves to wondrous experiences of deepening love, expansive hope, and connections with all humanity and all creation.

THE FIFTH GIFT IS HOPE. 
Through each passage and season
may you trust the goodness of life.
