Then I was laughing. Tore me up both ways. But over the next few days, I was depressed, seeing it as the human race's inability to see the truth in our climate fiasco. OK, it made me a mess.

For 2022, it is Joy. Archbishop Desmond Tutu's death at the end of the year shaped my selection. He embodied joy! Both gratitude and joy are repeats, but I like to keep it simple. I had hoped that meditating on these words would increase their presence in my life. I don't think it's happened that way, but I persist.<br />Gillian Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475596719205511600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-91427203658628016142022-01-02T05:28:41.846-05:002022-01-02T05:28:41.846-05:00Just snow-- lots of it.
