It’s easy to get cramped in body or mind, to let yourself fold into the shape of typing at a computer or an old argument. We are healthier if we remember to stretch, to push ourselves out of our old ruts.
What is your favorite way to expand your mind or your body?
“Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.”
―Mother Teresa
What lesson are you glad to have learned, although you didn’t like it at the time?
Of course, there is no bad day for giving thanks, counting the many blessings of our lives. But the season of harvest is a particularly good time to be grateful for those things that have come to fruition, celebrating not just our labors in planting and tending but even more the grace that allows things to grow.
What harvest do you celebrate at this point in your life?
Foxes of story and legend have a reputation for being devious and clever, but this young one just looks curious, eager to know about the world around it. Of course, many people work hard at being clever and getting ahead of the next person, when they might be better served by a healthy dose of curiosity and the desire to understand rather than to win.
What have you learned to approach with curiosity?
“You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your own blessings.”
―Elizabeth Gilbert
What are you most grateful for that has come to you only through very hard work?
