It was a quiet morning, not even a gentle breeze blowing the leaves on the trees. The water on our little pond reflected the beauty of nature that surrounded it.
I was walking alone with acalm heart when I turned the corner and saw Donna watering her lawn by hand. She was moving very slowly. I felt something was wrong. I had not seen her or her husband Ron all summer. As I walked up to her I could see the sadness in her eyes. I told her I had missed them sitting out in the front yard always being so friendly and kind. They would be having a glass of wine and tell me of a new grandchild just being born.
When I ask her how she is she tells me that her husband Ron has died suddenly. I am speechless. She then tells me how good her elderly parents have been coming to stay with her. She tells me she is happy to be seeing me walking again.
I am reminded of the fact that what affects one person affects us all. I return home to pray for her.
I begin my day with prayer and taking a deep breath to find the calmness of spirit I want to be a part of my day. I believe it will give me spiritual strength.

Well, if you never told us we would be none the wiser. I take it that woman is not that old? I hear some rain falling already so that is nice. What is louder is the kittens up stairs. I will let them out today to run around the house all day and worry about catching them later.
