One thing we can all do with more of

 

"The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love." -Henry Miller 
 
These days I'm quite against contagious things but love is the one thing I'll never get tired of giving and receiving. I figure the world could always use a little more love and on that note, I send much love and best  wishes to everyone.

Tea and a book

 "You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me." -C. S. Lewis

 There's something so nice about a cup of tea and a good book. They really are comforting things. I personally find having a nice cup of tea while reading  the third book in the Harry Potter series to be especially nice. Whatever books you like to read, I hope this message finds you with a nice hot drink and a cozy place to read. I send you best wishes and much love always.

All we have

 "Love is all we have, the only way each can help the other." -Euripides 

I like the fact that when it comes down to it, all we have in life is each other. I can't help loving people as a result of my belief in this idea. I find it much easier to love people, it takes too much energy to be angry and bitter, it just makes me tired. I love people and am loved in return so as much as I can give love, I get more love back and thus, the more love I can spread. On that note, I send much love to everyone and now I'm going to bed!

Three words that sum up everything

 "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."-Robert Frost

There's something rather comforting about the idea that things go on and change. Whatever happens it's nice to know that something better can come after and that there is always something to hope for. Wherever you are reading this, I hope you can always look forward to better things to come. I send you best wishes and much love always.

being home

 I've come to Michigan to stay with my family for the holidays.  Although I feel that I am home wherever I am, I feel especially at home when I'm with my family physically.  I haven't visited my family since last December so it really is a joy to be home a see them again. Wherever you are reading this, I hope that you can find ways to stay close with family and friends. I send you best wishes and much love always.

What is love to you?

 I saw this rather lovely video where a singer named Jason Mraz asked people to film things that they loved. The video made me think of how love can be found anywhere. To me, love is at the root of all things.  Wherever you are reading this, I hope you know that love surrounds you and I send you much love and best wishes now and always.

Look for the good

 I heard this lovely song today called "Look for the Good" by Jason Mraz. This song reminds me to always look for the good things in life and always keep them in mind because doing so always helps me feel better. Wherever you are reading this, I hope you can always find the good things in your life. I send you best wishes and much love always.

More love

I heard this song today by Sara Bareilles called "More Love" which made me think of how there's always room for more love. I figure if people  feel they must fight for or believe in something, love is always worth fighting for and believing in. Wherever you are reading this, I hope you spread any love within you to others. I for one, send much love and best wishes to everyone just because there's always enough love for everyone and even more for people yet to come.

I send everyone best wishes and much love always.

The Root of Joy

 "The root of joy is gratefulness. It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful." -Brother David Steindl-Rast

I like to find joy and thus something to be thankful for in each day. So today I'm thankful for books on tape as I was able to listen to part of one today and it was lovely and gave me a lot of joy. I send everyone best wishes and much love.

To veterans

As it's Veteran's Day I'm writing to share the story of a Veteran who, as far as I know, is still working to make things better for others. I know this story is from a while back but it still seems fitting to share it today. I saw this story of a Captain in England, who was recently knighted whose name is now Captain Sir Thomas Moore. He decided he was going to walk lengths around his house and people would donate money to sponsor each length to support Britain's National Health Service. He initially hoped to raise £1,000 before he turned 100. Word got out about Captain Tom's quest and he ended up raising £32.79 million by his birthday. For his efforts he was knighted by the Queen and promoted to honorary Colonel.  Captain Tom fought in World War II in Burma (Myanmar).  

Captain Tom has since started a foundation that now seeks to prevent loneliness. To support Captain Tom's efforts visit his Foundation's website: (https://captaintom.org/).

 I send much love and best wishes to Captain Tom and all veterans.

Happy for change

I didn't initially want to write about any sort of politics in this blog but I can't help but feel hopeful now for the future. I think that change is coming for the better and I'm happy for that.  I send everyone best wishes now and always.

Wherever you are reading this, I hope you are able to talk with family and/or friends at least once a day, just because. I send everyone best wishes and much love always.

Sunday joke



I saw this joke on a website today and it made me chuckle so I of course, had to share them here. I wish everyone a very happy Sunday and an even better Monday to come!


Question: Why is Sunday stronger than Monday?
Answer: Because Monday is a weekday.
