Kindle my heart's flame with Thy flame, may Thy light banish darkness forever. ~Jyota se Jyota (Hindi prayer)

Today I am grateful...
- that I received a poem written as a response to a painting of mine
- that I was available for two 12th step calls yesterday
- to have solved a problem with the painting I finished last night
- for the thunderstorm during the night. I find such comfort in the sound of rain and thunder.
- for the practice of gratitude. It clearly redefines how I see the world.
One of the wonderful qualities possessed by babies and young children is that they are unaware that a cycle of life even exists. They simply are present to wherever they happen to be right now, and they don’t give much thought to the past or future. Being around them reminds us of the joy that comes from living fully in the moment. On the opposite end of life’s cycle are our elderly role models. They are a reminder that each phase of life should be treasured. Time does pass, and we all change and grow older. ~DailyOm

We are getting rain galore today. But the winds are gusting upwards of 50 mph!
I seem to be the only Houstonian to sleep through the thunderstorm!
Was bunny all snuggly?
I LOVE thunderstorms! They stir me.
Good day, & like your new painting.
Good for you on the 12th step calls. I wonder whether AA's ever take along an Al-Anon if family is involved. I've heard that has been done. I really like the painting.
I slept through the thunderstorm too last night Pam. I was beat! I love waking up to the sound of the rain though!
I lost lights for two hours but I certainly enjoyed the storm. The sky is so beautiful today after God's washing last night.
TWO 12 step calls in one day? that's really awesome.
thunderstorms schmunderthorns - glad you liked my poem!
ditto what syd said. I also find thunderstorms spiritually catalystic (is that a word?)..
Namaste
