Much better, thank you

I feel better, Ms J. Calmer. Quieter. On the train this morning, I sat alone for fifteen minutes or so in prayer and meditation. In that place of stillness, I am able to be fully present, to "come", as they say, "into The Now."

Quelle difference, as they say in La Belle Province!

A new day approached and I met it confidently. The bright sun rose and the stars fled the sky before it. The wind whispered its secrets to the trees and the clouds raced our train back to Toronto. I noticed smiles on the station platforms. And I smiled too.

I'm meeting some friends for lunch today. Jennefer and her mum. I had lunch with Christine yesterday. Girl Alex is coming to visit me on Thursday to say good-bye before she goes off to Guyana for eight weeks. (Yes, she raised all the money she needed.)

Friends. Blog family. People who care. Thank you all so much.

Life is good. It's always good, isn't it, Ms Journal? The difference is in the way you see it.

After all, it's your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude.
