Coat of Many Colors Upon going to sleep at night and waking up in the morning I take 5 intentional minutes to clear my restless mind. I start and end my day by appreciating the pillow my head lies upon, my bed and covers, my husband beside me. I am conscious of the wonderful feeling of being snuggly and warm. Then I start bringing in thoughts of the wonderful blessings my life is filled with. My wonderful family, experiences and events, people I come into contact with, my pets, my job, my home, opportunity to learn and grow etc. Realizing just how miraculous and wonderful my life is. My sleep has been much more restful since I started this practice and I wake up periodically throughout my day and practice thoughts of gratitude for many different reasons. Surrounding myself with loving thoughts and appreciating my life. I am wearing my coat of many colors. I wear my coat of many colors with pride and practice remembering that I am wearing it. Throughout the day as the mundane frustrating fearful things come up I become aware of my coat of many colors. Junebug you inspired me this morning, thank you!!! Junebug your girls are precious! Wow..I am looking forward to getting to know your story. Upon sleeping and waking it is good practice to think about your coat of many different colors (as you did when you thought about your precious girls) and as we travel throughout our day and start to feel guilty or bad about something remember your girls and how they appreciate the simple things in life. Appreciate our coat of many different colors. Let's live life simply as possible, because when we take care of ourself by eliminating thoughts that sabotauge our feeling good effort we are better equipped to reach out and assist others...ZUMBA!!!!! TOWANDA!!!!!!!!!!!

Lisa the first time I heard that wonderful song I cried. My mama used to
make some of my clothes and I can relate to that song. Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year to you, my sweet, encourageing friend. Bren

Thanks for the beautiful song, Lisa. Believe or not, this is the first time for me to hear Dolly Parton's singing:) Her voice is beautiful and love the lyrics. Have a joy-filled Monday!

A total lunar eclipse will be visible across North America tonight, just in time for the longest night of the year. This will be the first time a lunar eclipse has fallen on the winter solstice since 1638.

Hi Lisa ~ I'm hoping to drag my butt up long enough to enjoy the view. I would never see it again in my lifetime, so it would be good to see. Beautiful pic you put up BTW. I've been absent in journals a lot, just so much to do, tired and working hard. I try, but never quite make it. Have a beautiful night and hope you enjoy the view of the moon if you are planning on looking. Thanks for being so faithful to my journal Lisa!!

I had a Musketeers bar and red licorice. I have been craving sugar once in a while and hope to stop it soon... I will check on your friend the Ninj now since the eclipse has me wide-awake!

I have her Ultimate Hits and I think it's on there, I am a country fan, mainly hard rock but I grew up with her crossover hit music. I listen to everything from the mid 1960s mainly to now (when the Beatles started), though Sam Cooke and Elvis and the Drifters I like - all of them were earlier, most of the 50s music I don't care for... :)

A beautiful journel and a wonderful song. Thanks for giving us moments to reflect on. So important to take the time, especially when our days are so filled with chaos.
