Joy and Loss; Blessings

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
​– Winnie the Pooh, Life Lessons from Winnie the Pooh by Janette Marshal
Affirmative prayer: I give thanks for the rich blessings of my life. I move through this day with a keen awareness of how prosperous I am, surrounded by beauty, friends, family, moments of laughter. And I’m grateful, even, for the depth of love known in times of transition and loss. I am steeped in the love of God. Thank you, Infinite Presence, forever, Amen.
