Joy
Divine power fills me with joy today.
Like waves in the ocean or birds in the sky, I am uplifted by divine power expressing through me. As I pray and go about my activities, God is the power that fills me with joy. Just as energy moves the waves and wind lifts the birds, this joy radiates throughout my being, filling me with energy and enthusiasm for life.
I find joy in simple things like spending time with a friend or enjoying the beauty of nature. I am aware of the simple, joy-filled moments and collect them as treasures. Joy shapes my thoughts and flows out into my conversations and actions.
I experience joy as the truth of my being and the divine energy in my life.
"For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy."--Psalm 63:7

What a great thought for the day. I should have read it this morning and maybe I'd have had a sunnier outlook.

Hallowe'en Thoughts

No Trick or Treaters this year. Probably because the lights were out and drapes closed and we don't have any decorations up. I am very appreciative of the folks down the block who decorate for every season, and each year add something. We did when the kids were still at home but the last couple of years there have been so many distractions and the access to the porch has gotten more overgrown, and it just seems to be too much. Maybe between now and Christmas I can find the decorations and put something up so I don't feel like such a slacker. I want to put up a sign or something that says "I love holidays, all of them, REALLY!!!".

This is my first post on my first blog, and I see I've already started in the musing mode.
