Happy 2024 to you! I offer you some Random Thoughts this morning, some ideas to consider between football games (may your team win!). The thoughts are, in part, inspired by a fine book of daily readings by Mark Nepo. The title is The Book of Awakening, subtitled: “Having the life you want by being present to the life you have.” I recommend that you let each one stand on its own, even though they sound somewhat related. So, some Random Thoughts as the new year begins.
This day is absolutely unrepeatable. Say, think, do and love as if you may never have the chance again.
Love today not because of requirement or expectation but because of opportunity.
Love because you can, not because you should.
I am not a body with a spirit. I am a spirit with a body.
I am a container full of consciousness. The container is of much less value than its contents.
I am able to love because love is inherent in who and what I am.
Wisdom is not a commodity to acquire. Wisdom is a flower to nurture until it blooms.
Knowledge is a friend of the mind. Wisdom is a companion of the heart.
Again, a happy and meaningful new year to you. Don’t waste a minute of it.
Shining Spirit 
I am afraid one of my sins is to waste some time. With the Lord’s help I will try to do more with what I have left. Thanks for your teachings.
What a treasure to have this recommendation. I ordered it immediately on my Kindle and can see what a joy. It will be every single day. Blessings and happy new year.
