Looking at nature brings peace, clarity and hope. It never fails to cause me to look up and send a “Thank you.” On Tuesday there was rain and gloom. When I looked up from my computer–a rainbow appeared across the trees below. I live on the ninth floor. A tiny ray of sunshine had produced the most beautiful colors. By the time I got up and brought my phone to take a picture, the rainbow was already fading. I’ve never seen on on the trees before. I said, “Thank you God.”
Right on! I love the simplicity. I have to focus on today because tomorrow could be worse. I try and do well and then more bad news. These are trying times.
Perhaps the most difficult part of this pandemic is not knowing what lies ahead…but with patience, a “new normal” awaits that will in some ways make us better prepared for unexpected disasters in the future….
I think that’s the only way we can know peace because we never know what’s coming ahead. ❤ As for the pandemic, I finally made contact with reality of the future yesterday. Naturally it was very obvious. I will do this semi-sequestration until I get sick or they find a vaccine. I'm very fortunate that I can do that. ❤
In a way … it’s almost like I can know peace because I don’t know what happens next? (It’s a new thing for me, so a question mark is DEFINITELY warranted!)
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
My life story…. and yes!
Thank you-we read the same sources of wisdom 🙂💙💟👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It’s what we’re confident of what will be at the end that brings the most peace, I think. Everything else is temporary.
