This is a wonderful morning. It is cloudy and it might rain, but it is
still a wonderful day. My youngest daughter awoke me early this morning
(well early for me - 7:00) to talk to her mama. Let me REWRITE; she
wanted to talk to her mama. She didn't really want me to say much; she
just wanted to talk to her mama, so I let her talk. My mama has passed
on and sometimes.... I just want to talk to my mama. That is why I let
my daughters just talk to me and do more listening than speaking. One
day I won't be here any longer, and they will want to talk to their
mama, so I let them talk as much as they want, to speak to their mama
for the time that I am here and present in their lives. That is what my
mama did with me and while I miss her very much, I treasure those
moments when she and I talked into the wee hours of the morning.
Beautiful memories.....
Have you taken a moment to give thanks to your Higher Power this morning?
I thank God:
- for wonderful mornings alive with blessings
- for uplifting songs by Jill Scott
- for allowing spaces between moments when I feel exquisitely aware of myself within myself
- for having wonderful and loving parents
- for not abandoning me
I
hope your weekend is already going well. Be grateful for all the
blessings that you have and will receive. There are no small ones, fore
each one leads to another. Don't discount what you automatically take
for granted. What many call small blessings lay the path for what many
term as big blessings. That makes being thankful for little blessings
very important.
"May we be strengthened with the understanding
that being blessed does not mean that we shall always be spared all the
disappointments and difficulties of life."
Heber J. Grant
Namaste...
I am not sure what the theme of this blog will be. I am redefining me. I was Mrs. Sampson; now I am Mrs. Jones. Despite all those titles, I am and always will be Annell Ann Lovend Bernadette Hutchinson, daughter of Warren and Vivian Hutchinson, the sister of Warren, Jr. (deceased), Victor, and Robin.

God given words that have guided my life -
"When you have come to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen. You will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly."
