Walk For Peace is a significant event that is having a profound, heartfelt effect on me.
Each day I tell myself:
Today is going to be my peaceful day.
To be at peace within myself.
To let loving change begin with me.

Death Reminds Me Of My Impermanence. I Forget. Then Remember.
This is it.
Our one kick at the can in this lifetime.
Each moment matters.
Do I want to spend my kick at the can in emotional turmoil or happy while feeling inner peace?
Yesterday I received news of the death of someone in the 12-Step fellowship I attend.
I did not know this person very well, but I cared for them because like me, they were alcoholic.
Her death was a powerful reminder of our impermanence.
One minute we are here. One minute we are not.
I am on the other side of 50 and at this age I realize the road before me takes me to my end.
I want to be happy and at peace.
Then, I forget this wisdom when the messiness of life happens.
I now know enough to be aware of when I’m handling life’s messiness reactively or skillfully.
As I grapple with this, eventually I remember to choose love and step back on the road to happiness and peace.

Well said…..we have one go at life. You don’t want to “wake up dead one day” and say, “What if I or I should have ….”
Exactly!! No regrets! 🌻🌞😊🌻
