Thanksgiving has come and gone. Many of us celebrated with only those who live with us, missing so many dear family members and friends thanks to the pandemic. Even so, there is so much to be thankful for. I flew home from Austin on March 3 after visiting my mother, not realizing that it would be the last of my quarterly visits for a long time. We talk almost every day, and I try to FaceTime her once a week. I am sad to not see her in person, but grateful she is safe and able to care for herself. My husband and I miss all of our children and grandchildren. We are grateful there is love in their homes and that they are staying safe. We hope that our staying away will allow us all to celebrate special events together for years to come. Our hearts are full of gratitude for all that we do have and the technology that connects us with our family from a distance.
I am also thankful for all of you. Offering the first online retreat in October stretched me forward. What a joy to have ten women join me for a day of reflection. With their encouragement, the retreat will be offered again on February 6. If you haven’t tried a retreat before, consider giving this one on Zoom a try. Finding Purpose Today is a personal retreat in the comfort and safety of your own home. Take a few minutes and read the testimonials on a separate page on this website. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.
Today, take some time to be grateful for what is good in your life, whether big or small and savor it all. Consider the “To-Do” list below, always remembering to breathe. You are worth it.
